Compassion of Jesus
Today’s Reading: Matthew 28:20 Version CEV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+28%3A20&version=CEV

When suffering knocks at our door, enthusiasm and joy of living go out the window. This is how thousands of people live. But this does not have to happen to those who know Jesus through an experience of personal salvation.

With Jesus, suffering faces hope and certainty. Without Jesus and without hope life is nothing more than fatigue and afflictions; and any small problem becomes a mountain of difficulties. Daily, Jesus places himself at our side. He knows our steps and guides us to the safe path. Jesus clears up our ideas and leads us with a firm hand.

If any one of our children screams for help, we leave everything and run to his rescue. It is no different with Jesus, who gave his life for us. His presence at our side is guaranteed. He said: “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

Life can be much more than a sea of tears. Jesus is our source of joy and peace.

Nee Beginings 1
Today’s Reading: John 8:3–11
Someone wrote: “How I wish there was a place called ‘Land of new beginnings’ where all our disappointments and bitterness could fall from our shoulders like dirty old garments which we will not use again.”

The Pharisees arrested an adulterous woman and brought her to Jesus, insisting that to comply with the law she had to die by stoning. Jesus challenged the Pharisees, saying, “Let him who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Jesus did not agree with the immoral life of the woman. However, he gave her the chance to start anew. “Go and sin no more,” he told her.

In God’s love and goodness there is a place, a place where you can drop the old and dirty clothing of bitterness, disappointment and sin. And the best is that you will never have to wear them again.

In God’s love and goodness, there is a place where you can start again. How wonderful is this! Although we are not worthy of much compassion, the love of Jesus makes us new people with a new life ahead. Blessed be His name!
