Thanksgiving



Remember to give thanks to Christ for His mercy on the cross! Though thanksgiving is a once a year holiday, we should give thanks daily for his rich mercies He bestows on us! His word reveals how Christ lavishly pours out His mercy in our time of need. We need them today!

Jude 1:21-25 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Were are to wait on God's mercy, for his return and his timing for his mercies in daily living. Have mercy on others who doubt. We are to edify, encourage and correct our fellow believers in God's infinite mercies. Also we are to practice and proclaim them to those who doubt there is "The Christ" in fear, in awe and in submission to God.

There is no one we can turn to receive mercy for our sins than Christ!
