Tender Savior
"He will not argue or shout; People will not hear his voice
in the streets. He will not break the reed that is already
bent; He will not stop the light that has almost stopped
burning. He will continue until he makes fair judgment win
the victory. All people will hope in him."
-- Matthew 12:19-21 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
While being strong and mighty, Jesus could also be loving and tender.
His role was to be our sacrifice, a sin offering that frees us of guilt
by the shedding of his blood. His resurrection is our assurance of
victory. He will make sure justice triumphs over injustice and we are
given eternal hope through Jesus' victories over the evil one. Once
again, we are reminded that the goal is to let Jesus be our answer and
source of hope, even in mundane matters.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Almighty God, it still amazes me that Jesus would give up his home and
comfort to come to earth and be rejected. Stir within me the same kind
of heart that Jesus had when he faced discouragement. Thank you so very
much for the blessings you have richly poured out on me through Jesus.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
