New Testament Reading: Luke 7
Old Testament Reading: Psalm 118:26-29
In Luke 7, we see Jesus responding to a soldier's faith and moved to action by a mother's grief. We see his kindness in assuring John he is the Christ and in granting forgiveness to a weeping prostitute. We see God act sovereignly as He intervenes with out invitation in raising the grieving widow's son from the dead, yet he also responds to the faith of the centurion (vs. 9) and prostitute (vs. 50).
In this all we see Jesus demonstrating the love and care of his Father. We can be assured of the goodness of God's character when we read of Jesus' life; he is the exact representation of God's nature (Hebrews 1:3).
Therefore, let us bless his name today! (Psalm 118:26) He has truly made his light shine upon us (vs. 27). We know Jesus is our God (vs. 28). We celebrate and thank him for his steadfastness of his love (vs. 29). Let us rejoice in God's love as we gather together to worship Jesus this Sunday! Why? Because our sins were many.

"Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven - for she loved much." (Luke 7:47)
Let us love Him without measure.
