1 Chronicles 1:1-54; Ezekiel 2:1-3:15; 2 Timothy 3:1-17
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.” Luke 15:18 NKJV
What a beautiful picture of a sinner’s reconciliation to God. The son’s rebellious attitude towards his father led him to take his portion and leave home. His fellowship with the father was severed though his father longed for his return. Once his resources failed, his friends left and he hit bottom. Is this where you are? The way back was through the confession of his sin and the mercy of his father. Great rejoicing ensued as the father received him back into his household. The same can be true for you today. —Jim Paul
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me.
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me. —Will Lamartine Thompson
