As We Gather for June 27
Do we deserve God’s love? Scripture shows time after time how constant God’s love is for us, even though His people sin again and again. We see in our Gospel reading from Mark that the Lord’s steadfast love never ceases. When Jesus walked this earth, this was evident as He raised Jairus’s daughter, who had died between the request and Jesus’ arrival at his home. And He cured a hemorrhaging woman whose only prayer was touching His robe. But God does more than restore us to physical life and health. Jesus left the riches of heaven, becoming a poor and despised human being so that we might become rich with everlasting life.
