Today’s Thought “Class Dismissed” G. Ward Luke 23 33 And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 [But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. Jesus Christ remains supremely exemplary as King of kings. He chose to give Himself unto incessant degradation, including plots that sought to kill Him. He is regarded as Incarnate because it’s a title none other can claim; mandating that any recognizing the Almighty, MUST preeminently do so through all He exemplified; HE is LORD (*John 1:1-3,14). We’re now amidst exacerbations that misappropriate His directives and substantiates our faith as authentic (or not). Knowing HIM, obeys what He says (1 John 5:3). Therefore, we cannot insist on removing pessimistic people from our lives, when called to them by this Wonderful Savior (for His Glory). We are/have been these negative souls and He promised to never leave us (despite us). While straining to find those who can lend a happy journey to each day presented (indicative of child’s play), joy is forsaken as it will always accompany peace, with mercy and love, particularly when I contemplate the same provided me (while I was profoundly erroneous – Ro.5:8). Will my prayers imitate HIS (vs.34)?
