Divine Mercy
The man lived in unimaginable bondage. Everyone had heard about him as he lived among the tombs, unable to be restrained (Mark 5:1-18). Surely people warned Jesus to stay away from this man. Yet he continued toward the tombs, filled with compassion. As they met, the man was so tormented he couldn’t even ask for help. But Jesus spoke, the demons fled, and the man was released.
Divine mercy brings freedom.
As Jesus was leaving Jericho, two blind men called out to him: “Lord, Son of David, have pity on us!” (Matthew 20:29-34). Even though people told them to be quiet, they shouted all the louder.
They believed in God’s mercy and knew how much they needed him. Again, full of love, Jesus touched their eyes and restored their sight.
Divine mercy brings healing.
Zacchaeus was a tax collector known for extorting money. Yet when he heard Jesus would be coming by, he was determined to see him (Luke 19:1-10). He was not deterred by his short stature but climbed a tree to get a good view. Jesus called to him, and the two shared a meal together
. Divine mercy transforms lives.
This is the miracle of divine mercy:
- It is available to all of us right now.
- It is a free and boundless gift from our Father.
He has prepared a banquet hall for us, and he invites us all to come. With bold and eager hearts, not allowing unbelief to keep us away, we can enter in and receive all that he has for us.
God’s mercy is a fresh, ever-rushing river. Jesus is inviting you today to immerse yourself in his cleansing tide. How great is the love that God lavishes on his children! His mercy is given freely. So don’t hesitate.
***Come and surrender to him, and receive the freedom, healing, and transformation that spring from the heart of Christ! ***
“Father, I am awed by your compassion and love for me.
Your mercy has raised me up,
cleansed me,
and changed me.
I embrace the mercy that you are pouring over me right now. Lord, you are wonderful!”
…Deo Gratius!
