A big sinner saved by big grace. Good Friday reflection

A big sinner saved by big grace. Good Friday reflection 2025-12-11T23:06:08+00:00

I am a big sinner saved by even bigger grace. Declared righteous once for all but please be patient with me as I am a work in progress, and there wss a lot that needed fixing up!

One day me and my Master will be done at this building project in which we are following His plans togeher.

In the meantime expect disappointments from me as for now I am only human. One day I will be holy as He is Holy. For now I’m learning to follow him as best I can, or rather as best I can with him helping me.

Sometimes suffering comes my way and at times it seems I need a lot of that to learn certain lessons. Maybe I’m just more dense than some others. But I’m on my way. And this Easter I’m freshly inspired by thinking about Christ.

He’s the ultimate biblical demonstration of meekness. Strength controlled and gentle love. The ultimate strong man who made the universe submits himself to the ultimate self sacrifice and the punishment of evil unjust people for the sake of his kids as it was the only way to rescue them.

——-

“But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. ‘He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.’ When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:20-23‬ ‭NIVUK‬‬

Am I the Worst Sinner in the World?

Am I the Worst Sinner in the World?

About Adrian Warnock
The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. Just not all at once. Healing takes time. Compassion and patience carry us over a lifetime of change.
These are the themes I explore in my books and in the articles I have written for Patheos since 2003.

My writing draws on my scientific training as a doctor and psychiatrist, my work in the UK's National Health Service and the pharmaceutical industry, alongside more than twenty-five years as a member of a growing church where I served on the leadership team offering pastoral care.

My perspective has also been shaped by chronic illness since 2017, when I developed life-threatening pneumonia that caused lasting damage to my body, triggered several further conditions, and uncovered a diagnosis of blood cancer. This was successfully treated, although doctors expect it to return in the future. Out of these experiences I founded Blood Cancer Uncensored, an online patient-led support community.

I am the author of the Transformed by Jesus: Spiritual Renewal series of books, which ask:

→ Is the Easter story true, and what does it mean?

Raised With Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything

→ Why is change so difficult? What causes the resistance?

The Traitor Within: Understanding and Healing Our Deceitful Hearts

→ How does transformation happen over time?

Amazing Grace: How Faith Grows in the Human Heart

→ What are the first steps on a journey of faith?

Hope Reborn: How to Become a Christian and Live for Jesus

These books bring together medical, psychological, social, and faith-based insights, advocating for a biopsychosocial–spiritual model of wellbeing. My qualifications and training reflect this integrated background:

→ British MB BS medical degree (equivalent to an MD in the USA)

→ Postgraduate qualifications in Psychiatry (MRCPsych) and Pharmaceutical Medicine (MFFM, DipPharmMed)

→ Theological training courses run by Newfrontiers
