“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

Jesus’ cry to the Father was to “forgive” our sins so we could be one with He and the Father.

Is this our cry for the lost?

“While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;” Ephesians 3:8

Just this week, a dear sister in Christ and I both sensed, remembered the many testimonies of our LORD Jesus has in our very day, repeatedly turned the seemingly vilest of militant sinners into saved, born agents of His heavenly kingdom! (2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8

May our LORD change our innermost disposition, that when we previously reacted in anger, upon seeing sinner commit crimes, we’d quickly hasten to lift them in prayer (Matthew 5:44).

ALL men are already condemned. Jesus came “to save them”:

“For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:56

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17

If God had excecute His perfect justice upon me, before He was able to save this wretched soul, I’d be burning in hell where I deserved to be. Can you relate?

Let us never forget the most merciful cross of our bless-ed Savior who died for you and I, “while we were yet sinners.”

Let us be ever reminded….. That God is ever so merciful and “READY to forgive” – and otherwise we’d already be justly doomed:

“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. … 15  But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” Psalms 86:5, 15

If God dealt out justice, I’d be the first, the most wicked, depraved sinner slammed to the bottom of hell. Remember that Paul wrote the following words, BEFORE you and I were born and so he didn’t know the even worst sinners were still yet to be born. 😉

Remembering the great mercy of our God, of himself the apostle Paul, who was once Saul of Tarsus referred to himself as “less than the least of all saints” and the very “chief” of all sinners.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 

There are no organizations supporting this Gospel work. It’s only individuals who are born again disciples of our LORD who support His work. We only have to work with what you choose to give (2 Corinthians 9:6-11).

With very little money to use, we are dropping the Scripture-rich ministry books to both saints and sinners who are presently incarcerated. If you wish to help, your money will be the fuel to make this happen. Nearly daily there are these ministering blessing being sent out. Several more monthly supporters needed. Takes seconds.

The apostle Paul, who was hailing Christians to jail and to their death, now forever changed by Jesus, pens the following words:

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” Romans 5:6-11

YOUR own life, my life, is the clear proof that God can change the hardest of hearts, the vilest of sinners. Let this ignite your fire to minister to the seemingly most distant sinners….

Yes, civil authorities are rightly in place by divine ordination “for the punishment of evil doers.” (1 Peter 2:13-14)  Yet Jesus gave us, His people, His divine command and authority and Holy Spirit to be His “ambassadors” who call all sinners to repent and be saved into His glorious eternal family (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 2:49; book of Acts; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, etc.).

No one else can or will do our LORD’s work. God has invested this commission in His body. That’s us!

May the Lamb of God be magnified in the hearts and lives of His people today – to rejoice and communicate His great mercy by which we are now saved into His eternal family and commissioned to say “Come” to those who are not yet His.

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

ALL men, every man and woman, is already condemned in their own sin (John 3:18, 36; Romans 5:6-9).

God has sent us to call them to Him – to repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ.

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2

As evil as we think people are, we should keep in mind that since God is “Holy, holy, holy”, we are no less evil and depraved and separated from Him – outside of being blessed to be in Christ (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). Now may God bless us to help others know of His great love!

Jesus died for them and He wants them!

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Ephesians 2:1-10

1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 

2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 

3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 

4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 

8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive my wicked and evil heart that is at times hardened and full of hatred for the sinners You sent Your only begotten Son to die to save. Please teach me Thy ways and remove the stony places from this depraved heart. Grant that this heart be an heart of flesh, abandoned unto Thee my LORD – walking in the very mission You came to accomplish – to save sinners like me. Let Your divine mercy wash over and fill this heart. Reduce me to love. Please baptize this, Your vessel, with Your Holy Ghost now and use me dear LORD. In Jesus’ name.

Love Mercy [podcast]

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8  We should never lose sight of the fact that the very same precious blood that was shed for our sins was also shed for the sins of any and all we may be tempted to condemn. They also can be forgiven even as God has so mercifully forgiven us. With this in mind, may God bless each of us to “Love mercy.” (Micah 6:8) Growing up […]

KINGDOM BREAKING: Little Town Rocked by Born Again book! [podcast]

KINGDOM BREAKING From sister Karen Cochran: “We have been handing out little born again books to people in a senior living home. Today we received a call from a Lady. Here are her words! ‘I read that book from top to bottom and wow it is filled with scriptures. I was saved many years ago but I don’t know if I repented of my sins. So I prayed to the Lord to save me and I also repented. And now I am telling you. I want more of those books to hand out to my whole family and people here […]
