Pastor Jack draws from the closing verses of 1 Corinthians 1 to explore the glory God intends to restore in human beings. He explains that just as painted-over antique furniture can be stripped to reveal its original beauty, so Christ becomes to us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption-restoring the glory lost through sin and revealing what God created us to be. Pastor Jack challenges listeners to see themselves not through the world’s perspective, but through what Christ is making them to be.
