“God is much greater at being a savior than I am at being a sinner.”
That statement by my good friend Dr Don Kistler, much earlier penned by John Wesley (1725-1807) and before him Puritan theologian Richard Sibbes (1577-1635).
Can there be any greater comfort, any finer assurance, than knowing that the redemptive work of Christ is complete! Done for us, without our assistance.
To illustrate, this prayer of trust by another lifelong friend Gene Ashe:
“It could be that you put mud on the eyes of the man born blind and told him to wash it off so he would not be an eyewitness. That way, when the Pharisees questioned him how it happened, his testimony would be purely based on “blind” faith. Lord, help my faith to be blind more often.”
