Mercy and Truth Meet in Christ

November 28, 2010 by Fritz

“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. – Psalm 85:10

“Truth” and “Righteousness” don’t naturally lead to “Mercy” and “Peace”.

Truth is, every one of us have done selfish ungodly deeds. Righteousness demands wrongs to be corrected and we don’t have the wherewithal to comply.

We can not bring back the dead, can’t restored ruined reputations, can’t unhurt or put back what we have wasted.

But Christ, Jesus, can and he has. In Christ righteousness and peace “kiss” and make up. He paid for our sin, he can heal the hurt, even take the wrong and work it to every one’s good.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ – Romans 5:1

>Jesus Comes In When Asked

November 27, 2010 by Fritz

Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you – 2nd Corinthians 13:5b

It is NOT figuratively speaking, it is no metaphor or euphemistic way of expressing some “truth”; Jesus, the living Christ, actually and tangibly lives within the one who has asked Him to do so.

The little chorus is more Biblical and profound then we realize:

Into my heart, into my heart,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus;
Come in today, come in to stay,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.1

>Hearing from God – Feel the Burn

November 26, 2010 by Fritz

[T]he bush burned … and … was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him – Exodus 1:2b-4a

Moses heard from God like we do, today. Events are different but the process is the same – Moses noticed something unusual (the burning bush), he turned aside to see, then God spoke.

This is how we, too, hear from God. Reading the Bible, hearing a word from a friend, pastor, or co-worker, even sometimes a thought from “out of the blue” – something “lights up” though we may not even know why.

That’s the time to stop and investigate. It doesn’t always happen at a convenient time or place, but when we pause, then and there to wait and listen, God speaks.
