The verse for today's class was Romans 8:32 - "He did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all - how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?" First, we have to realize that this is Paul writing, and Paul often gets all tied up with his pronouns, or otherwise it would read like this: "God did not spare His own Son, but gave Christ up for us all - how will God not also, along with Christ, graciously give us all things?"
Either way, the meaning is clear, and speaks to the subject of faith. If God will make the ultimate sacrifice for us, to wit: Jesus' death on the cross, then we can be assured that He will take care of everything else. I think this has applications to both now (God provides for our needs) and in Heaven (where we will have all things). We have to remember that God's promises to us extend beyond our life here and into eternity.
So, we can rest confidently in God's love for us - the greatest example has already been made, and the rest is just a reminder of how true and magnificently generous His love for us is.
Love,
Dad
