So I'm going to break up this "seriousness" of this blog for a little bit.
The Reverb10 posts have been a little, well, intense. They're really intense
and require me to look back on some days that I'd rather not. But 2011 is
a new year. A clean slate, a new literal decade.
Since I very well may be living in France at this time next year, I've been
encouraged by some French believers. It's amazing at the way that the
body of Christ transcends language, culture, tradition, age. It just goes to
show the permeance of the gospel, how it fills up all the spaces.
Jesus is the hope of nations. L'espoir des nations. It's been so encouraging
to my heart to realize that Christ didn't just come to save Jews, Greeks, Americans.
He came for the whole world. Salvation is a global thing, for the believer. So I pray
as the Lord's will unfolds in my life, in reference to moving overseas, that I'll be
able to serve the global church and to be encouraged by other believers,
regardless of ethnic origin or nationality.
So, I've posted a video of a French version of Hillsong's song "Mighty to Save".
Not that I'm all keen on Hillsong's theology, but I really like this song because
it focuses on Christ's power to save. It reminds me that He has the power to
overcome anything to give salvation to his children. Nothing stands in his
way; language, culture, death. We are His because he chose us, purchased
us, loves us. I don't know about you, but that fills me with so much joy.
p.s. This video is set to the English version of the song, so it's kinda strange to watch
French words "coming" from their mouths. It kinda makes me laugh... Anyway,
just listen to the song.
