I guess I just wanted to process today's sermon, to get out in the open these thoughts in my head, that I know my heart has heard and is wanting more explanations. Why would a God who redeemed such a fallen, broken, adulterous people, want to redeem? What part of redemption does God enjoy because he freaking put his heart on the line, His own, begotten Son, who he poured His wrath upon so that he could call to life a people who were enjoying the deadness of their sin, the consequences, and effects of the disgusting things of this world.
I am not qualified to lead anyone. Not youth, not freshmen, not my peers, obviously. Even when I try to do things for the glory of Christ, I feel like I am coming up short. Especially today. What foolish thought would enter my head, that I would entertain- that declared me saved by my own leadership ability. I can so quickly engulf myself in the lives of these people that I love so dearly, so readily do I lose sight of the object of my leadership: Jesus Christ.
