Jesus' Mercy From Everlasting to Everlasting - Part 533

Our hope is in Jesus. Bless His holy name. It is Jesus who heals all thy diseases, who forgives all our iniquities, who redeems our life from destruction, who crowns us with loving kindness and tender mercies. Indeed, Jesus satisfies us with good things so that "thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm 103) 

Jesus - the sweetest name under Heaven and the only name whereby we can be saved. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. When Jesus became our Saviour, it was not to establish institutionalized formal religion on earth. Rather, Jesus shed His blood on Calvary so that we might know the God that controls the universe personally. The God who knew us before we were formed in the womb. Yes, He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In Him, are we reconciled to God. (II Corinthians 5:18-20)


Why? Because Jesus - our Lord and Saviour - loves us that much. So that we could walk hand in hand with the creator of the universe. The same God who loved us enough to allow His humanity to die on the cross. In Him alone do we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. So many times religion wants to bind us up with their rules and regulations -- even though we are no longer under the law. The gift of salvation was already purchased through the shedding of blood on the cross. As a consequence, Jesus has set us free. 

"And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; but hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."


This is why in Luke 4:18 we read, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." 

Colossians 1:27 states, "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Immerse yourself in the contentment that God intended for men and women from the beginning. 

Rejoice in the Lord always. Stand in the offering plate.
