Friday 1-10-20, Tevet 14, 5780 6th. day of the weekly cycle, 21st. Winter day

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his grace in his kindness towards us through Christ Jesus. Ephesians Two:4-7

Ephesians Two:4-10

New Condition: Alive To God

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

What does it mean that God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4)?

God's Mercy Endures For Ever Psalm One Thirty Six

Love always, Walter and Debbie

It means we need to look long and hard at what Jesus has done for us?
To seek to understand something of what it cost Jesus to save us then and to go on saving us in this life?

Harry and Megan are proposing leaving the 'royal lifestyle' but you can be sure they won't be moving into your street, town, etc.
Yet Jesus went from being the center of Heavens attention to being a baby, in a poor hardworking peasent family.
He knew what it was to earn his daily bread by hard work, to be thirsty, hungry, bone weary, foot sore and he endured that for us.

Mercy is love in action and we see Jesus in loving action in the Bible.
