Sovereignty That Demands A Response

February 16, 2020 | David Speakman

Series: Judges

Scripture: Judges 4:1-24

“There is no attribute more comforting to His children than that of God’s Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials, they believe that Sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all . . . it is God upon the throne that we love to preach.  It is God upon His throne whom we trust.”

Charles Spurgeon

“It is said of God that no one can behold his face and live. I always thought this meant that no one could see his splendor and live. A friend said perhaps it meant that no one could see his sorrow and live. Or perhaps his sorrow is splendor. And great mystery: to redeem our brokenness and lovelessness the God who suffers with us did not strike some mighty blow of power but sent his beloved son to suffer like us, through his suffering to redeem us from suffering and evil. Instead of explaining our suffering God shares it.”

Nicholas Wolterstorff

“When opponents do their worst, and we’re still standing for Christ, that is ‘a clear sign,’ a prophetic warning, that God is with us. For example, when the Empress Eudoxia, in the fourth century, threatened John Chrysostom with banishment, he told her, ‘You cannot banish me, for this world is my Father’s house.’ ‘But I will kill you,’ she said. ‘No, you cannot, for my life is hidden with Christ in God.’ ‘Then I will take away your treasures.’ ‘No, you cannot, for my treasure is in heaven, and my heart is there.’ ‘But I will drive you away from your friends, and you will have no one left.’ ‘No, you cannot, for I have a friend in heaven from whom you cannot separate me. I defy you, for there is nothing you can do to harm me.’”
