A “But God” Moment

He was delivered over to death for our sins
and was raised to life for our justification.
                              —Romans 4:25

The resurrection of Jesus was a “But God” moment.

Peter on Pentecost: “You, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. But God raised him from the dead” (Acts 2:23–24).

Peter at Solomon’s Colonnade: “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead” (Acts 3:15).

Peter at the house of Cornelius: “They killed him by hanging him on a tree, but God raised him from the dead (Acts 10:39–40).

Paul in the synagogue in Pisidian Antioch: “They took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead” (Acts 13:29–30).

When things look dismal
think about the “But God” moment.
