HE KNOWS, HE IS MERCIFUL

Hebrews 2:18

Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.


What audacity will a man who has never known an ailment have to console one who is going through it, saying he knows? 


Is it hunger? He went through it. 


Is it pain? He went through it. 


Is it hate? He went through it. 


Is it temptation? He went through it. 


Is it abandonment? He went through it. 


We may NOT be able to list it all, Christ Jesus went through it all for us. 


Did He have to? No, yet He did. 


John 10:18

No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded.”


What really do we have to lose by believing and staying faithful? (philosophers, think on it), however what do we have to lose if we do NOT believe and stay in faithfulness? - eternal regret and pain. 


John 3:18-21

“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.

And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.

All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.

But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.


He knows every difficulty we have or may go through, this qualified Him as our only High Priest. 


Hebrews 2:17-18

Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.

Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.


We must never take this for granted. 


People try to cover things by trying to say Ah, God is not wicked. No, we must not get it wrong, discipline and punishment are not attributes of the wicked they are statutory. 


See if there is any form of mercy, that is the Heavenly Father Himself, we know mercy from Him. There is no excuse. 


We quote the Psalms again and again and it is true:


Psalms 23:6

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.


Luke 1:50

He shows mercy from generation to generation to all who fear him.


Romans 11:32 

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.


Ephesians 2:4

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much,


We cannot afford to doubt His love neither His mercy. 


Trust in Him, walk with Him, be faithful. He knows, and He shows mercy. When we finally see Him face to face we will NOT be strangers but friends. 


For we will spend our time here in His love and mercy and still gain eternity in His glory. WHAT A WIN!


He calls us blessed. 


Love

@the watcher.

GOOD LIKE YOUR FATHER

-
Genesis 1:31 Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. There is one thing we must have in mind, "it is the desire of our Heavenly Father that we should be like Him". He is good and He expects us to be good, we follow in His good nature. One of the attributes of the Heavenly Father's goodness is in the perfection of His work. What can be said of your works? Listen, the Psalmist sang: Psalms 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. Look at those who walked with the Heavenly Father in scriptures, their works were wonderful to behold, is it when they worked in spiritual positions, Joseph and Daniel in interpretation of dreams and giving wise counsel; or the prophets when they delivered God's message or did miracles. Their works were commendable when they were in political positions, Joseph and Daniel are still very good examples, no blemish was found in their work...

OUR GIVING

-
John 12:3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. What exactly have we sacrificed for Christ? We talk of all His goodness, love and unmerited favour, how have we shown appreciation for the grace He has given us? Do we really know what the Lord has done for us? Psalm 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  [If] I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Psalm 30:12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. People ask, Christ is not physically here with us, how can I pour my precious oil on Him? This is what He said: Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these...

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...
