Be The Light of Hope
"Please do not mention who I am. I wouldn't want to be treated differently." Whether we are affluent, well-liked, or a grave sinner, we should give and receive the same mercy that God gives us. Be imitators of Jesus' love by treating others with dignity,compassion and fairness not because of what they have done or what they have failed to do, but because they are human beings created by God. God can show His mercy to the gravest for all offenders. Your mercy may be the light of hope for the serverest wrongdoer.
Inspired by Luke 9:18-22
Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?" They answered, "John the Baptist, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen." He said to them, "but who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Messiah of God. He sternly ordered and commanded them not to tell anyone, saying, "The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
