We don’t enjoy being laid low, but that is just what the Lord does: he lays us low so that we confess our sins for what they are: rejection of his Person, Word, and Will. But this is not the end. He lays us low so that he can lift us up again in Jesus, his Son, the Christ, the one Savior of the World. Jesus was laid low at the cross for our sins and then rose again from death. So it will be for all who believe: we will be lifted up from sin and death, right into heaven. A sermon based on 1 Samuel 2:1-10

The Shield of Faith.”
