You may have heard the question (or a similar version): How can a black cow that eats green grass supply white milk, yellow butter, and red meat? When you think about it, it doesn’t make sense. Our music minister, Roger Longoria, presented that thought before we sang the familiar hymn: I Know Whom I Have Believed.
Why would God extend His grace to us and send His Son to die for
our sins? Why would He redeem us as His own and work peace in our hearts? His
Holy Spirit exposes sin-blackened lives, convicting us of sin, revealing Jesus
to us through the Word; His spotless, crimson blood washes us white as snow, creating
faith in Him. We may not understand how God could or would love us so much, and
we don’t know when our Lord will come. But we can say like Paul, “I know whom I
have believed, and am persuaded that He is able, to keep that which I have committed
unto Him against that day” (2 Timothy 1:12b).
God keeps our surrendered hearts we entrusted to Him for the day we meet Jesus face-to-face in our eternal home. What a day that will be when I see the One who saved me by His grace.
