BOASTING IN THE LORD!

December 14, 2023

“And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

Romans 5:11

Have you ever heard of the word “exult?”

What does it mean?

One definition says “the ultimate joy.”

When teams and athletes win a championship after many years of workouts and training, there is exultation.

But it also can mean to boast.

Many modern-day athletes are really good at this. When they’ve done a fabulous job, it’s, “World, look at me. Look at how great I am.” Yet, there’s an occasional athlete, when they’ve done something great, who will look up to the heavens. Sometimes they’ll kneel in prayer and thank God, giving Him the glory. It’s rare, but it really gives us a kind of understanding of what God’s Word is saying: “Not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.”

But boasting can actually be a good thing, too. For the ultimate joy and the ultimate boasting is when we can boast in the Lord for what God has done. It begins when we receive salvation from our sins and are made right with God. It’s when we decide to follow Jesus in faith.

But that’s not all. There will be ultimate joy at the end of this life when we are in the presence of God forever!

The great Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, was speaking in the United States. His intellect was so towering that people were in absolute awe of his brilliant mind. After he spoke, he had a Q&A time. One person stood and asked, “Dr. Barth, what is the greatest thought that has ever entered your mind? What is the greatest thought that your mind has ever experienced?”

He thought for a moment and then replied, “Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so.”

Now that is cause for exultation!
