Exodus 17
Strike the Rock

How is it possible that a group of sinful people can gather together and sing of spending eternity in the presence of the perfect, sinless Creator of the world? How do sinners call the perfectly holy God their Father? How do those who deserve to face the eternal wrath of God experience present blessings—and await even greater blessings to come?

Only because the Christ, our Rock and King, suffered the consequences for the failures of His people.
