"Undeserved Mercy"
[4] Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:4 NIV
Why is it so hard for us to take responsibility for the pain & suffering we caused?
We would rather blame God than to even consider for one second, that God ONLY did what He did to SAVE US!!
But the bible lets us know that it was our pain that Jesus took, it was our suffering that Jesus bore.
Today as we rise to start the day....Let us sit with the truth that we are not always innocent and that someone else's pain could very well be our fault.
Jesus' pain was our fault, but because God (the Father) loved us, He showed us undeserved mercy and Jesus ended up sacrificing Himself for us instead.
[8] But God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
Romans 5:8 NCV
[6] When we were unable to help ourselves, at the right time, Christ died for us, although we were living against God.
Romans 5:6 NCV
So, Let us remember this and humble ourselves when it comes to how we treat others, who need the same undeserved mercy we were shown.
You and I are not innocent, but we were loved in spite of. It's time to pay that type of love, that type of undeserved mercy forward to someone else who needs it.
Until Next Sunday.
