S9E31: Under the Wings (Gathered Up in Christ pt. 3)

Sermon #488

We come to the passage of scripture from which the title of the series comes.  To be gathered up in Christ is the most secure place in the world.  The image Jesus uses is that of a mother bird protecting her young under her wings, and if you know anything about mother birds, you know that they will defend their chicks with their very lives.  Jesus likewise will sacrifice himself in order to save us from our sins.  The question is, are we willing to be gathered up in him, or do we prefer to do our own thing apart from Jesus and his loving protection?
