KIRKBY LONSDALE METHODIST CHURCH
SUNDAY, 10 June 2012.
Hoping against hope, Abraham believed that he would become ‘the father of many
nations,’ according to what was said, ‘So numerous shall your descendants be.’ He
did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was already as
good as dead (for he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the
barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No distrust made him waver concerning the promise
of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced
that God was able to do what he had promised. Therefore his faith ‘was reckoned to
him as righteousness.’ Now the words, ‘it was reckoned to him’, were written not for
his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in God who
raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our
trespasses and was raised for our justification.
from the Lectionary Reading, Rom 4:18-25
