WHY NOT?

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 21st, 2012

 

 

WHY NOT

 

 

I ask myself

Are people seeing Jesus Christ

In me

 

If not

Why not

Why aren’t

People seeing Jesus Christ in me

 

Are people

Seeing Jesus Christ

In you

 

If not

Why not

Why aren’t

People seeing Jesus Christ in you

 

Grace sustained

Grace made plain

If I am living right

People should be seeing

God’s grace in me

 

If not

Why not

Is it something in me

Is it something in you

 

Are people seeing God’s grace in me

If not

Why not

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!

 







THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!


Today=we see a story

That DEMONSTRATES Jesus' COMPASSION=

Anyone who has ever LOST

A loved one=would be

DRAWN in too


At the ENTRANCE of

The city Nain=

Jesus encounters a weeping woman=

A woman=who has LOST

Her only son


“A man=who has died

Was being carried out


The ONLY SON

Of his mother

And she was a WIDOW”                                                                                           Luke 7:12


We can only IMAGINE Jesus=

An only son


Seeing the PARALLELS between

His own family=this woman

And his VERY OWN MOTHER


FILLED WITH COMPASSION!


I too can IDENTIFY=when I was 22

And being told=

I was NOT going to live


All I could do

Was imagine the PAIN

Of my mom=and my FAMILY

If I was no longer here


JESUS was FILLED WITH COMPASSION!

For the widow Nain


“As a father

Has COMPASSION

On his children


So the Lord

Has COMPASSION

On those who fear him”                                                                                            Psalm 103:13


“For a brief moment

I abandoned you


But with DEEP COMPASSION

I will bring you back”                                                                                                Isaiah 54:7


“But after I uproot them

I will again have COMPASSION


And will bring

Each of them

BACK to their own inheritance

And their own country”                                                                                            Jeremiah 12:15


Jesus knows something

Of the TENDER relationship

Between a MOTHER

And the LOSS of her child


He KNOWS that the LOSS

Of her child=is

Her GREATEST FEAR


I know it too=because I

Could feel MY MOTHER'S PAIN

If I were lost to her=

And this world


COMPASSION MOVES JESUS!


“But while

He was still a

Long way off


His father saw him

And was FILLED

WITH COMPASSION for him


He ran to his son

Threw his arms

Around him=and kissed him”                                                                                               Luke 15:20


Jesus is MOVED with compassion

He restores LIFE

To the widow Nain's SON


And sees an EMBRACE

Between her and her

Almost gone FOREVER SON


THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!=

How does compassion for

The PAIN in someone else

Move you to ACT TODAY?


FILL YOURSELF with

THE COMPASSION OF JESUS!


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER COMFORTING FATHER!

MERCY NOT JUDGMENT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 19th, 2012

 

 

MERCY NOT JUDGMENT

 

 

Who

Who are you

Who am I

To be passing judgment on someone else

In today’s world

 

Give mercy

Give compassion

Give someone a free pass

Give someone love

God’s love

 

Look at the story of Daniel

Did you know

That the name Daniel means

“God is my judge”

 

Daniel goes public

He confesses his sin

And the sins of God’s people

 

How can Daniel

Be so sure

God will forgive him

Forgive them

 

Because Daniel knows

That he has the history of God

On his side

 

Daniel knows

That our God

Is a God of love and compassion

He has rescued his people

Over and over again

 

God saved

Daniel’s 3 friends

From the blazing furnace

God saved Daniel himself

From the lion’s den

 

And in Luke 7

We find Jesus saying,

“Do not judge

Or you too will be judged

For in the same way

That you judge others

You will be judged

And with the measure you use

It will

Be measured against you”

 

Take Daniel as your model

Give mercy---give love

 

Take Jesus

As your model

And as your God

 

Because giving someone else mercy

And not judgment

Is God’s way

 

Give someone love

Give someone a free pass

And do it TODAY

Ps       “It does not therefore depend on man’s desire or effort

            But on God’s MERCY”                                                       Romans 9:16

 

           “Blessed are the merciful

            For they will be shown MERCY”                                        Matthew 5:7

 

           “Because judgment without mercy

             Will be shown to anyone who has NOT been merciful

             MERCY triumphs over judgment!”                                       James 2:13
