Rom. 8:32

Many see Rom. 8:28 (this was in the book) and don't go onto verse 32 (no, this wasn't in the book; just came out while I was teaching). About the ROCK-HARD GUARANTEE that all things MUST work together for good! Jesus' suffering: It wasn't just his earthly mother, His Heavenly Father had to watch all that too. And no doubt, He really wanted to spare His Son all that pain! BUT HE WASN'T SPARED ONE DROP OF AGONY--HE FELT IT ALL--THAT WE MIGHT HAVE PERFECT RECONCILIATION WITH GOD, THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ALL BLESSING.

When I pay for something at the store, I don't leave the item at the counter; I take it home with me! It's mine! God paid for everything good for us with that awful death on the CROSS; there is no way He would NOT claim it for us; it's already been paid for! Circumstances, on the outside, may LOOK undesirable, but we KNOW that it has to be good, because God paid for it! with Calvary!
