WOW! If you weren't there this past Sunday to hear Pastor Tim Copeland preach, you have got to buy the CD! It was ANOINTED of God and exactly what we needed to hear. He preached a message titled, "The Kiss at Calvary." His text was (Psalms 85:7-10/ KJV) where it says, "Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other."
What a scene at Calvary: Mercy and Truth met together while Righteousness and Peace kissed each other. Jesus was NOT just TRUTH but he was MERCY. Jesus was NOT just MERCY though either, He was TRUTH! Bro. Copeland brought out the problem we've had since the fall of man in the Garden has always been the willingness of Peace to come to our aid, but Rightouesness wouldn't allow it until a Blood sacrifice was made...CALVARY! So, at Calvary, when the final Blood sacrifice was made, Righteousness could actually kiss Peace and seal the deal!
Therefore, you can't have true Peace WITHOUT Righteousness. In other words, you won't have peace in you mind, you body, your family, your job, your "whatever" unless your RIGHTEOUS!
Anyway, THANK YOU Pastor Copeland for PREACHING to ME!
