Last Thursday Marcia and I had the wonderful opportunity to go see Shane & Shane, two guys that make great music. I was first introduced to the guitar-playing Shane, Shane Barnard on Semester at Sea, and since then, I’ve been hooked on their sound. The striking sense I got from this “concert” was that it didn’t feel like a concert. It seemed like these guys just brought people to God through song.
At one point, Shane B started talking about a song he wrote, called “Embracing Accusation”, about how he felt accused by the devil of the fact that he just didn’t measure up to God’s standards. Nothing he could do could really bring him into right standing with God. And he felt crushed by the enemy. But then the Lord brought to mind a verse from Galatians 3:13, “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us”. Crazily enough, that’s the exact verse that I felt God impressing on my heart that week before. I think I really can’t comprehend how much Jesus did for us. Becoming that curse which we deserve to give us REAL life. Wow.
Here’s a shot from that night:
