--The Lord Jesus Offers His Love, Grace and Mercy to Everyone. But each person must accept it personally, individually.

'Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.' Jesus Paid Our Sin Debt. Do you want to have Him for your Savior? That is your decision. No one can make it for you. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."

-"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:9-10)

--BIBLE MEDITATION:
--“...the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11.

--DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There are three words that came together at Calvary:

----• justice
----• mercy
----• grace

Justice is getting what we deserve. Mercy is not getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we don’t deserve.

But wait a minute; grace is more than that! It is grace that gives at great cost to the giver. It is not cheap. Grace cost the life of God’s Son. Jesus gave freely of Himself in agony and blood.

Did you know that grace has to chase us down? If God didn’t run faster than us, we would never be saved! Grace seeks to give to vile and wicked people that which they don’t deserve and can never deserve.

--ACTION POINT:
Are you a grace-giver? Find someone today and do a favor for them – something for which they couldn’t possibly repay you. Perhaps it will even be for a stranger you will never see again.
Be sure to look for an opportunity to share the 'message of salvation, only through Jesus,' to those around you.
Psalm 23 tells us 'The Lord is My Shepherd'. He cares for His sheep, watches over them, and makes sure they have access to Him, for their needs. Won't you ask Him to be your Shepherd as well. He is waiting. Jesus loves you so much that He died on the Cross of Calvary to keep you and me out of Hell. Accept His extended hand, and be saved! ~~
