I want to celebrate those who get "it." What’s the "it?" It is the Gospel.
It is the lens through which we are to see, and the engine for what should drive us in life. We are far worse than we realize, yet, in Christ, far more loved than we every imagined. God relates to us totally on the basis of His free grace. We cannot earn, should not deceive ourselves into thinking we could or should, and God has designed that we can only relate to Him rightly on the basis of the finished work of His Son. He treated Jesus like He was us, so He could treat us who trust in Christ like we are Him (2 Cor. 5:21).
A friend recently noted — in speaking on the theme of thankfulness — that those who truly get the Gospel, are thankful people. Period. Contrastingly, those who are bitter and complaining, well, they don’t get "it." (See complaining Israel in the OT; cf. 1 Cor. 10.)
If we have tasted of Christ we become changed beings, transformed by grace and living in it. Oh how I want to get "it" today, all over again.
