The best place for your innocence to be is behind closed doors.

Good News Weekly Message

It’s been said that the sun is always shining; it’s just that sometimes clouds keep us from seeing it. In the same way, there are splendid realities that God describes in his Word that are often clouded by the current conditions of life in this world. As we near the end of the church year, God gives us a “peek behind the curtain” to see the reality that is already ours in Christ—a reality we one day will be able to see with our own eyes. Today the reality of our righteous status before God is hidden behind the veil of our sin. Sin separates us from a holy God. Thankfully, Jesus offered a perfect once-for-all sacrifice to be able to enter God’s presence where he constantly pleads our case. When he returns, we can be confident it will not be with condemnation in hand. Rather it will be to deliver our salvation.
