Today's reading: Numbers 17

Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 3:12-13

Welcomed with outstretched arms
The three parts of the parable in the 15th chapter of Luke's gospel show with what untiring love God goes after lost, sinful people.
The Shepherd, who found his lost sheep, did not complain of tiredness. He did not reproach himself. He did not think of himself at all, but laid the sheep carefully and joyfully on his shoulders. It was not too heavy for him to carry back home.
The one who had lost a coin swept the house and searched eagerly. She simply had to find again. And when she found it, she spoke of it gladly.
How moving was the reception of the prodigal son! "When he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him" (v.20). The father did not send a servant to welcome the son on his return. He went out himself to take him in his arms and forgive him all the wrong he had done.
The way God forgives everyone who turns to Him sincerely causes no fear to arise in the heart. So why should we doubt that God will forgive absolutely? His arms are outstretched to receive the lost. God points us to the cross of Calvary, to the basis of forgiveness. He tells us that all that was necessary for our salvation was accomplished there. So we need only to rely fully on Christ and His atoning death.

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
