But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” —He said to the paralytic,
Mark 2:10
Blessings, healing and success are all astonishing displays of God’s grace in our lives. But Jesus came with one purpose: to save us from our sins. No miracle is greater nor can begin to compare to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. May this song from Lacey Strum minister that wonderful truth to you this morning…
Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; Luke 1:78
The Critic sees a people overlooking their good to focus on their sins
The Romantic sees people overlooking their sins to see their good
God sees people and sends His son to die for their sins and by His mercy visit us forever!
One of the great questions I have sometimes is not whether God would really forgive me because of the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. I accept this by faith without fully understanding because the Bible tells me so. What puzzles me more is why an infinitely pure holy and powerful God would care to spend eternity with me. And then I come to this verse and am reminded that while the distance from the North to South poles is fixed (12,430 miles) from East to West there is no measure. That measure”s limit lies beyond the edge of the universe, just like the love and mercy of God!
