"Christ Jesus . . . became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30).

It is the continuing resurrection/transformation/liberation work of sanctifying grace. So this season, how about scanning your heart and life?

Jesus not only revealed God's glory on earth; he died so that that glory would be the final resting place of our hearts.
