The Cross, where Mercy met Justice!
We should have received death, yet we've been given life.

We should have been beaten and crucified, yet we've been set free from the penalty of sin.

 

Focus Scripture: "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."  (Jude 1:21)

 

Jude fully understood Mercy as he admonished us to "look for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."  In all that we do, everywhere that we go, all that we set our hand to, in every circumstance in life, "look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ", recognize it, acknowledge it, thank Him for it, walk in it.  Mercy that bought us eternal life, when we should have received justice, is ours because of Calvary.  Amen?

 

Let us Pray: “Dear Lord, God of Mercy, how can we ever thank You for such an awesome gift.  We could never have deserved such Mercy, yet You bought it, paid for it, and have given it so freely to each of us whom accept.  Heavenly Father, As we step out through this new week, we pray that You will guide us in all that we say and in all that we do.  May our lives bring You glory, and may we always look for the beauty in each and every person that we meet.  Father, we know that in Christ we are beautiful in Your sight.  Help us, by Your Holy Spirit, to live lives that are a beautiful reflection of our Saviour, for all to see and give You praise.  Thank You, Father, for loving us enough to push us out of our comfortable mess, push us out into those stormy seas at times and to put us in a place where we're more keenly aware of how empty we are apart from You and how great is our need for You.  The nearness of God is our greatest good.  And we give You thanks for Your presence is very real, even when all other visible means of support have been taken away.  You are God and You are near.  So we hope in You and by faith we say that we will yet praise You for the help of Your countenance.  Grant that the remembrance of the blessed Life that once was lived out on this common earth under these ordinary skies may remain with us in all the tasks and duties of this day.  Let us remember, His eagerness, not to be ministered unto, but to minister, His sympathy with suffering of every kind, His bravery in the face of His own suffering, His meekness of bearing, so that, when reviled, He reviled not again, His steadiness of purpose in keeping to His appointed task, His simplicity, His self-discipline, His serenity of spirit, His complete reliance upon You, His Father in heaven.  And in each of these ways give us grace to follow in His footsteps.  Heavenly Father, thank You so much for the gift of each new day.  Lord, may we always use our time in a way that is honoring to You. Father help us to see when we're trying to cram too much into our hours, and also those times when we're allowing the minutes to just slip away.  We will praise You from now throughout eternity for making a way for us to receive the greatest gift of all, Mercy from the One who gave His all so we could call You, Abba, Father!  May we always live in the balance and harmony that we were created for.  Lord, we ask Your blessing and protection over every person receiving postings.  Surround each of us, and our loved ones, with Your love and peace, and may we always reflect the same to the world around us.  All this we pray in the precious Name of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.  Amen."

 

"Little drops of water, 

little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean

and the pleasant land.
So the little minutes, 

humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity."

 

Love in the Lord
Paul/Hayman
