SUN 5/20  RESOLVED CONTRADICTIONS

“But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for Himself; the Lord hears when I call to Him.” Psalm 4:3

“This is a great miracle, that the same person is God & man, dead & alive, mortal & immortal, & almost every contradiction is here resolved in Christ.”  Martin Luther Psalm by Psalm, Concordia Publishing House, 2017.

MY THOUGHTS

If Jesus was not God & man, how could He die to win forgiveness for us? How could He be resurrected from the dead--a sure promise of our own resurrection? And if He is not now alive, how can He hear when we call to Him?
