Failure and Fulfillment: Living in the 'Already, But Not Yet'
Having been told to go back to Bethel and engage in the right worship of God, Jacob leads his household in this worship and then journey's on. The second part of Genesis 35, though, mentions three events that reveal the truth that even though Yahweh has promised fulfillment of his covenant with Abraham and his descendants, and even though this fulfillment is in the midst of taking place, nonetheless it takes place in the midst of certain kinds of failures. It is this union of fulfillment and failure that marks the life of God's people now as they journey on toward the final fulfillment in the New Heavens and New Earth. What lessons do we learn from these failures mentioned in this text and their union with God's fulfillment of his promises?

The life God has called us to in Christ must reflect His sacrifice on the cross
The Cry of Faith
There is forgiveness for all. The resurrection assures us God accepted Jesus’ sacrifice for sin. Because of His faithfulness, forgiveness is available in Jesus’ name. Get the message of forgiveness of sin out to all peoples.
The Cry of Recognition
Be hopeful because Jesus is alive. God works according to his own predetermined timetable. A common mistake: God’s plan always unfolds the way I think it should. God’s pathway to glory often involves a companion named suffering.
He Was Buried
Why then was Christ buried? Why does Paul say it is of first importance? How does Christ’s burial comfort the believer? What blessings are given to us to enjoy? Herman Witsius writes, “…Christian piety requires us to improve it for our own benefit, by holy meditation,” (The Apostles’ Creed, p. 117). How can we better make use of and celebrate Christ’s burial for our benefit? How does frequent meditation on His burial motivate and form our faith on a daily basis? I want to give you seven truths concerning Christ’s burial, which highlight its paramount importance for our faith and the gospel blessings that it sets forth for us to enjoy.
The Cry of Relief
Our risen Lord is with us even when we don’t recognize it. This should be a huge source of relief and peace for us.
