God's Kindness


We have been talking about kindness today, realizing how important it is for us to learn and practice kindness. The Table of the Lord is the place to begin to understand God’s kindness to us.
The Scriptures say that His kindness leads us to repentance. God is kind to us. He shows us His love and waits for us to respond to Him appropriately. What greater love has God shown for us in that He sent His only Son to die for our sins? Furthermore, He offers the broken body and shed blood of Christ to us to heal our bodies and to forgive us our sins. And then He raises us in new life in the risen Lord Jesus to be seated with Christ in the Heavenly places. This is all God’s favor, His grace, His kindness. We see it and receive it here at this Table.
