Grace, Mercy & Peace
Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Mar 14, 2021 (message contributor)
Summary: This message is about grace, mercy and peace. When we give or receive grace and mercy, peace will always follow. Likewise, we will never truly have peace without the giving and receiving of grace and mercy.
New Light, there is no possible way we can obtain the peace of God if we are not walking in His grace and His mercy. And what I mean by “walking in it” is not that we have not received it, but we are giving it. God has been so gracious toward me that I cannot withhold grace from others. He has been so merciful to me that I cannot withhold mercy from others and believe when I tell you there have been many times when I wanted to. I will leave you this morning with a few of the lyrics from the song “Your Grace and Mercy” by the Mississippi Mass Choir. These words sum of my life and this message on grace and mercy which leads to the peace that Jesus spoke of in John chapter fourteen.
“Your Grace and Mercy”
“Your grace and mercy, brought me through, I'm living this moment because of You. I want to thank You, and praise You too, Your grace and mercy, brought me through. Thank You for saving, a sinner like me, to tell the world, salvation is free. There were times when I just didn’t do right, but You watched over me, both day and night. Justice demanded that I should die, but grace and mercy said oh no, we've already paid the price. But see, I once was blind, but thank God I can see, it was all because, grace and mercy, came along, and rescued me. Your grace and mercy brought me through, I'm living this moment because of You, I want to thank You and praise You too, Your grace and mercy, brought me through.” God bless you New Light!
Until next time, “The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
