Oh, God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry;
when I have work, help me to remember the jobless;
when I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer.
And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion. Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Samuel F. Pugh

We
cherish pardon, don’t we? I know it well. I know the highway patrolman
who oversees it! And now he knows me. He looked at my driver’s license.
“Hmm… aren’t you a minister here in San Antonio?” he asked.
“Yes sir,” I replied.
“On your way to a funeral?” he inquired.
“No,” I said.
The conversation continued: “An emergency?”
“No.”
“You were going awfully fast.” “I know.”
He offered, “Tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to give you a second chance.”
I sighed. “Thank you,” I said, “and thanks for giving me a sermon illustration on pardon!”
God
has posted his traffic signs everywhere we look. In the Universe, in
Scripture, even within our own hearts. Yet we persist in disregarding
his directions. But God does not give us what we deserve. He has
drenched his world in grace. God offers second chances to everyone who
asks. And that includes you!
Since the Holy Spirit is our guarantee that God will soon give us glorious eternal resurrection bodies, we can be encouraged today and make it our aim to please the Lord now in every way. In part 6 of 2 Corinthians: Overcoming Affliction With Christ’s Love and Truth, Pastor Dan Cox reads from 2 Corinthians 5:1-10.
