EMBRACE ALL IN LOVE

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,

Matthew 13:47 NKJV

Our text is a parable of Jesus displaying His love for all. So instead of isolating ourselves from one another, or passing judgment on one another, we learn to embrace one another’s imperfections for it is the love of God that transforms. Salvation is by the love of God not by our merits, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 NKJV)

The Sower, Jesus has sown extravagantly in love, casting the dragnet to gather all, in the will of the Father, for He said " And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day." (John 6:39 GNT) Our duty is to harvest in His love, in the will of the Father.

That is why the Bible calls us ambassadors of Christ; "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians 5:20 NIV) Remember, He has paid for all our imperfections, so we can embrace all in love and allow God to transform.

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO EMBRACE ALL IN LOVE TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
