JUSTICE AND MARCY

If Jesus were to come from Heaven right now to speak to us about what is going on in our world today, He will speak to us about love and forgiveness. Jesus will use His life on earth and what He did for us on the cross to speak to us. His unconditional love that made Him come to this earth in the first place. He preached the good news of love, loving one another just as He has loved us, and forgiving one another when we get offended. Everyone of us deserves to be forgiven, irrespective of what we have done, because God first saved us from our sins and brought us closer to Himself.  The nature of God in us compiles us to forgive others for what they have done to us. 

Let us be careful not to seek justice because of how we feel or how we have been treated unfairly. Justice and mercy go together, justice without mercy or justice without Jesus is evil. Let do our best to control our feelings and anger for  Jesus has given us power over them. Let us remember that we are a community and a family. A community that becomes a family is more concern about what God is doing in our heart, and not what people are doing.

Jesus is a peace-maker, and He is our example. Let us walk in the footsteps of Jesus and be peace makers in the world that we live in. And remind our self that we  are the salt and light of the world and if we walk as peace-makers, our light will shine for all the world to see.

When we argue about who we are, we give the enemy the opportunity to use that against us. He will do his best to divide us. We are united in Christ. Unity makes us strong. Through unity we can celebrate our differences and give glory to God for His creativity. Our uniqueness or color demonstrates the beauty of our God, and that helps us to appreciate the creativity of our God. When we side with Jesus, we are able to see the world through His eyes, and that will help us to make better judgments. Judgments that will bless all people. Let’s  remember that we are a community and a family and love our neighbor as ourself. We have the spirit of redemption when we speak God’s truth.

We are a people with one heart, one spirit and one soul  made in the image of God to glorify Him. When we seek to honor each other in anyway that we can, we will unlock the doors of creativity which will bring us to a place of service. Creativity will give us the interest of serving one another and appreciating our individual gifts. Division will hinder us from seeing the creativity in others and stop the flow of service. When the flow of service stops, we will miss the opportunity to walk and create in the fullness of what we are made of. Our ability to create will lift and build each other up. “All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed” Rev. 15:4.
