Preparing for corporate worship: Boasting in Him

The apostle Paul cites an Old Testament passage at the close of a great text on the cross of Christ, saying, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord” (I Cor. 1:31). The One who humbled Himself to become a man -- then suffered rejection, humiliation and execution – is the One exalted to the highest place. It makes no sense in an earthly kingdom. It does only in God’s kingdom. We will gather Sunday to boast in Him. We will have the opportunity to boast in Him in our praise, thanksgiving, confession of sin and intercession. We will have the opportunity to boast in Him in our reading of God’s Word, praying, singing, sharing and serving. May God be glorified, and may we be changed.
