Luke 1:76-78 (NIV)
76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of
the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
Where does salvation come from? Does it come from our sense
that something is desperately wrong and we need to change and make it better?
Does it come from casting things in a more positive light so we don't become
discouraged and quit? Does it come from a lucky break? Does it come because we
are scrupulously righteous and deserve it come our way? Does it come from
rigorously obeying everything in the law? No! Salvation and forgiveness come
from one source, "the tender mercy of our God."
Thought for today:
Can I and do I show mercy?
