Today’s Thought “Redemption’s Reciprocity” G. Ward

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

The annual ecumenical service for the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King’s contribution to mankind, witnessed his youngest daughter Dr. Bernice King appealing to every listener to adopt 50 acts of service and kindness between now and the 50th anniversary of her father’s assassination, in April. The effort was perhaps the motivation someone needed to see another less fortunate; therefore, I celebrate this special call, but I’m compelled not towards the view of what may end in April more than what took place thousands of years ago via a sacrifice of eternal proportion (cf. Jn.1:29-30).

The gauge we’ve utilized in times past is more visual than interrogative in determining who is like the Lord, particularly before rendering aid (cf. Jas.2:1-7). Moreover, we desire a huge ecumenical service that highlights our good deeds vs. quiet recall of HIS grace continuing as sufficient for my life (Mt.6:1-4). The original calling to fulfill derives from perfection demonstrated, discounting sensationalists’ opportunity of what could be entirely cyclical and exasperating (*Heb.12:1-2).

Thursday Has Become “Throwback” Because it’s Reminiscent of My KING as Victorious!
