Justice vs. Mercy

Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Show us Thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us Thy salvation.” Psalm 85:7

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
There’s a story about a lady who went to a photographer to have her picture made. When she saw it, she didn’t like it. She took it back and told the photographer, “You’ll have to take this over.” 

He asked, “What’s wrong with it?” 

She said, “It doesn’t do me justice.” 

He looked at it and looked at her and said, “Lady, you don’t need justice, what you need is mercy.” 

God is just, but we need mercy. If you have never come to a place where you have seen yourself as a sinner lost before Almighty God and cried out to Him for mercy, you’ve never been saved.

ACTION POINT:
You may have joined a church, but have you thrown yourself on the mercy of the court? Have you said, “Lord God be merciful to me, a sinner?”

RULES OF THE ROAD:

1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.

This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
