I’ve written previously about how we are familiarizing ourselves with the Heidelburg Catechism using Starr Meade’s Comforting Hearts, Teaching Minds. We started Morning Time up again yesterday, and it turned out to be a very brief one because I had forgotten that Miss A’s Latin class is now at 11:00 on Tuesday – we will have to get into the habit of starting earlier! But we did sing a hymn, pray, and start the Lord’s Day 19 section in the devotional. The paradox (in the best sense of the word) and beauty of Question 52 blew my mind.
How does Christ’s return “to judge the living and the dead” comfort you?
In all distress and persecution, with uplifted head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and removed the whole curse from me. Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation, but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and glory of heaven.
