God's Grace, Mercy, and Peace

When we walk with the Lord God,
in Truth and in love,
God's abundant grace, mercy, and peace
will be given to us (2 John 1: 3).
May God help us in our trials and temptations;
May we have victories over the evil ones,
as we seek to serve God all the days of our lives.
Amen.

Live And Love In The Truth

God's Truth lives in us.
Let us live and love in God's Truth.

- 2 John 1:1-2 -

God Is Trustworthy

God is true to His word.
God can be trusted.
God promised that He would never destroy the earth with a flood again.
He set a rainbow in the sky as a sign of His promise.
For thousands of years, God has been true to His word.

*******

Sometimes we get discouraged during the tough times in our lives.
Let us recall the promises of God.
Let us remember the rainbow.
God is trustworthy.
He is always true to what He has said.

Remember The Rainbow

Live In Peace And Holiness

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy;

without holiness no one will see the Lord.
(Hebrews 12:14)

The Parable Of The Wicked Vine-Dressers

Matthew 21:33-46

Passage

This parable was about the Jewish nation who had enjoyed the special care and goodness of God for centuries.

God had given them good laws. God had favored them above other nations. But they still rejected Him.

God had sent the Old Testament prophets and John the Baptist to them. But they tortured and killed them.

God then sent His Son to them. But they did not respect His Son! They murdered the sinless Savior!

God finally rejected the Jewish nation. The Kingdom is given to other nations! It was given to the Church!

Response

Let us respect the Son of God by obeying Him, and by giving Him first place in our lives.

Prayer

Oh God, help me submit to Your Son, and serve Him only! Amen.
