Embracing Accusation

It's been a LONG time, everyone =]. I think this is an amazing song, enough to share on this blog.



"Embracing Accusation" ~Shane and Shane


My approach to my sin is all messed up... At some points, I don't even realize the weight of it; that from day 1, my sinfulness made me deserving of death and destruction (Psalm 51:5). At other times, I am completely shackled by the continual reminders of my stupidity, brokenness, failure, sin.

Satan, in the Hebrew language, means "accuser." The image I think of is a courtroom, I'm standing before the Judge, and Satan the Accuser is there to try me as guilty. And it's so appropriate...These whispers--"You messed up. You are cursed. You are scum because of what you have done.."--in the end...is all right. All of it is right. It's incredible to think that Satan, the father of lies, is actually right when he points his finger at me and says, "SINFUL."

Hahaha..here's the gospel. "You're right Satan.. I embrace these accusations, because of this one thing you've forgotten: Jesus saves!!" That is SUCH good news.

It's amazing...so often, I feel like I need to escape Satan's and my own accusations. But THIS is SO important to what we call "THE Good News": We HAVE messed up; we HAVE sinned against an Almighty God, and deserve absolute destruction.. but the good news is that we are redeemed by God from this!! It's only in the full realization of our deserved death that Jesus's death and resurrection becomes the Greatest News Ever. Allelu-Yah.


Hope you guys are blessed by this song =].
