The Daily Pulse (Saturday, January 11, 2014): ...When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the Lord, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal’s wrongdoing down on his own head.” ... 1 Samuel 25:32-39 (NIV)
John 21- In this bone crunching episode of the boneyard, we bring our series of John to an end! Jesus sits with Peter after eating breakfast, and Jesus asks a question to Peter. 'Do you Love Me?' Peter had recently denied Jesus, now he sits across from the Son of God who he had told others he didn't know the man. Now how will this all turn out? Tune in and see how Jesus deals with those who have failed, and those with the weakest faith!
Yes, I’ll admit it. There have been times when I kept driving for another mile or two even after realizing I had missed my turn and was now traveling in the wrong direction. It’s one thing to know you’ve gone off course. But doing something about it is another matter entirely. When John the Baptist calls for repentance, he telling us we need to “turn around”. That requires more than words. It requires action, what John calls the “fruit of repentance”. But this bearing of fruit is our necessary preparation for the coming of Jesus. On the Last Day, we are told, he will seal some with Holy Spirit, but others he will seal with fire. Thankfully, we have John’s message to prod us into action. Even better, we have God’s Spirit to give us a change of heart. And best of all, we have a Savior, Jesus, who is quick to forgive us and set us back on the right path. Are there any U-turns you’ve been putting off making? Now is the time to take action. God bless your Advent journey!
