Christ's Forgiving Compassion


There are times when we walk this life among grave consequences and are only separated from them by momentary decisions. There's a power in this world that seeks to devour us spiritually and pervert even our best intentions toward unholy goals. Our only surety, our only protection is in our consecration and devotion the one who's power can never be shaken and who's righteous plans can never be perverted. Even those who do not share the revelation of our God are subject to the same destructive intentions of the evil that roams the world we live in. But their blindness leaves them vulnerable to perish in unfathomable horror depriving the Father of His fondest desire.

This life is not given as a game to be played by careless boastful people living for worldly gain or seeking to prove their skill with words that cut hearts to bleed. Those who do these things are missing the purpose for their creation. They lack the revelation of the truth of our God. Don't be dismayed if these seem to escape repayment for their deeds. Nothing escapes the record of our God and if it's only delayed, their terrible reward will surely come with grief beyond comprehension on the day of accounting. But in the spirit of Christ's compassionate mercy, have the strength to pray for their redemption and repentance. Pray for them to gain the revelation of God's purpose for creating them and of who Christ is. For every spirit that He has given birth to is as precious to Him as our own. His deepest desire is to hold them close to Himself as His own little child. In the intimate and purest form of tender love, like a mother holding her own newborn child, He longs to hold them even as He holds us now. Even these who may show vile intention toward us, may become our closest brother if their hearts are changed by the revelations of our God. Pray not for their destruction or repayment of their deeds, but follow Christ's great example of compassion.

We are mere mortals, but the horrible acts meted out upon our Christ as He walked the earth among men were rendered upon a God. How awesomely terrible could His vengeance be on those who struck Him or spat on Him. But even as He hung dying on the cross, bleeding, broken and humiliated beyond anything we may have suffered, His words to our Father were out of compassionate love for them. They evoked a power far beyond any might of this world and demonstrated a love that we are left in awe of even to this day. An example of love and compassion that we as Christians are bound to follow just by declaring that we follow Him - "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do".

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

Caution And Reverence In These Passing Days

"But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber."         2 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) It's an inescapable fact that we were created by the same God that created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Mankind may say or declare, even forcefully, anything contrary against it, but mankind's warbling has no effect on the truth of what God's said and it'll be proved out when He avenges against their wickedness in defense of His own name. There are those among the secular scholars and Darwinists- the "intellectuals",  that dispu...
