I'm Sorry, i lied in my last blog, i actually have blogged before but only on my myspace page, which compared to this blogging world isn't much. That reminds me I might relocate those blogs over to here one day.
This morning a got up, 9:15am precisely, and stated reading the Word. This is what I got.
CITY OF REFUGE
Numbers 35:9-10
Then the Lord said to moses: "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ...'select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.'"
How great is God, not only does he set up Rules and laws he also provides a pardon when special circumstances arise. A place for sinners to flee and hide, find peace and restoration. A Refuge.
Much like the Church should be to the Nations and Jesus to all sinners.
A safe hiding place.
Rom 8:1
'there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ... (he) has set you free.'
In the Scripture God places this duty on the Levites, much like us today, he trusts them to be compassionate, kind and encouraging those seeking refuge, to those who would want to rest from the crazy sinfulness of this world.
'the assembly must protect the one accused... and send them to the city of refuge...' vs25
Lets be a people who take care of those who are struggling.
When people come to me to confide will they find rejection and disapproval OR are they going to receive the love and acceptance of Christ?
Let's show them the Love of Christ Personified in us and God's Church.
Lk

So much easier said then done. . .what a reminder to be loving at all times. . .no matter how I feel. It should have nothing to do with me. . .but so often does. Grace. We all need a little Grace. . .we all need to give Grace. So hard, but you gave such a good picture of it right from the Word.
