Our God - Gracious and Compassionate

- September 04, 2021

"The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love." Psalm 145:8 The Hebrew Scriptures describe the God of Creation as Gracious and Compassionate. [This is the 1st message of this series ] In previous lessons we have discussed that the Christian Scriptures revealed the God of Creation as having compassion with everyday people, because He became one of us. He went through the same things we are going through. Funeral Have you ever attended a funeral or memorial service where the bereaved were unconsolable? Many of us wouldn't even begin to understand how they can be so distraught. Many will have no idea as to what was going on with them, what they were thinking, how they are feeling. That is unless we too have undergone the same loss, and experienced the same pain, the same grief, the same hopeless or helpless situation, or felt the very same emotions. Jesus Christ of Nazareth Jesus Christ of the Christian bible is the Alpha and the Omega, th

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
