“Solace to a broken saint”. I wouldn’t be surprised if you titled your sermon, led or finished with that great phrase of yours.

When you said it was a repost, I immediately scrolled down to see if I had liked it last year and of course I did, but I wish I could double like it! Actually reading it again helps because I was reminded of some things that edified me last year, and also got a new perspective on some of the things you had written. I think reposting things is really beneficial to your readers!

“We walk up to God’s throne with confidence in the finished work of Christ,…”. Love this line!

As far as Jesus being tempted in “every respect“ - when you think about it, every single temptation can be distilled down to the fact that Satan is trying to convince us of a lie, and to not believe the truth of God. So ‘every temptation’ is simply a lie. Jesus was tempted in every way because Satan‘s evil tricks always have the same MO, no matter what bitter fruit is produced from giving in.

Hope things go well with your travels and preaching and your job!

Thank you for the kind words. I always feel been when I recycle a post, but I’m glad to know it’s beneficial!
