-From Seeking God’s Peace in a Nuclear Age: A Call to Disciples of Christ
God
promises life to those who believe in Jesus.
We are set apart but not with special privilege. Instead, we become servants
because God’s people live in response to the needs of others.
Rather
than privilege, we have a special responsibility to express God’s radical justice
and mercy through our lives. Jesus shows particular concern for the poor, the social
outcasts, the ill, the mentally ill and for those without a support network.
His mercy even extends to those who have committed the worst kind of evil. In
contrast to our idea of fairness, both long time believers and late-in-life
believers receive the same reward.
God’s justice and mercy is radically different from ours. (tweet this)
In addition, God’s people trust God above all else. Our confidence is not in our career, bank balance, social standing, family, or health. None of these is secure. Only God is truly reliable. We trust Him to provide our needs as we follow His guidance (at least it’s our goal to trust Him that well).
How can you show
God’s justice and mercy in your circles of influence?
Could you expand
your circles?When have you trusted God to provide instead of relying on yourself?
