—Mark 15: 27-32
by: Joy Choquette.
Are we not fortunate that God is a god of mercy as well as justice? Looking back over our lives, we can all likely see times when we deserved punishment. Yet God, in His love and mercy, absolves us, offering us forgiveness in place of punitive measures; offering love and peace in place of the punishment that we deserve. “Life’s not fair,” is a comment we hear frequently. It is true and has been since the beginning of time. But God is just. We are blessed to serve a God who does not love us as we deserve to be loved but as He desires to do so.
