Into His Throne...

For the last couple weeks, I've been pretty busy as Anthem has lined up a lot for us students. We had Drew Berryessa come to our church and he taught 4, 3 hour classes with Anthem. His main point is taking God's people and helping them move into health and wholeness. Obviously being healthy and whole is good, and we feel good being that way, but why? As I ponder this thought with God I'm reminded of His presence where when we are submerged into it, there is nothing sweeter. At times I'd say we are even entering into the courts of the heavenly.

We had a class today with our senior pastor here at Living Waters and Garris talked about how we need to move past the cross. We look to the cross for forgiveness and repentance, as God sent His Son to pour out His grace. But then God says, "I have more for you" and we are filled with mercy and redeemed. At this point God asks us to move past the cross and into His courts to sit with Him on His throne. This is a life of Christ, led by the Spirit, that gets us here, and we are called holy, as in set apart, because his mercy has made us complete and whole.
