"God of Second Chances"
#God blesses us with #secondchances. In fact, he does so every single day! So, next time feel we’ve strayed too far away from God, think about these guys:
- #Matthew was a dodgy tax collector.
- #Peter denied #Jesus three times and hid while Jesus was on the cross.
- #Abraham denied Sarah was his wife, not just once, but twice.
- #Jacob was a first-rate cheat and played favourites with his kids.
- #Moses stuttered and ran away from murder.
- #David was an #adulterer and #murderer.
- #Elijah suffered from #depression.
Then there’s St. #Paul, writer of 13 of 27 New Testament books. When Jesus needed an apostle to the Gentiles, he picked the perfect candidate – Paul, not just A but THE #enemyofthechurch. He was a thug who dragged Jesus’s followers to #prison and even approved stoning them to death. Yet, Jesus appeared to him and goes on to fiercely preach the grace of the cross, leading to his own death.
Who says God’s people, even the most famous and celebrated, were #perfect?
Each day is yet another chance to submit to the #LordJesus and experience his unending forgiveness and grace.
