The Worst Has Already Happened

Russell Moore, Onward

Moore writes, “The worst thing that can happen to us is crucifixion under the curse of God, and we’ve already been there, in Christ. The best thing that can happen to us is to be raised from the dead and seated in the heavenly places, and that has already happened to us as well.” The summary anchors present fear in finished realities.

How you’d preach it

Christian courage rests on the fact that the ultimate worst is already behind us in Christ.
