Read: Exodus 22:21-23:9; Luke 23: 13-25
Reflect: God’s law is compassionate,
uncorrupted, and fair. Yet Jesus’ condemnation comes from justice perverted by
the priests, the leaders, and the people. If the Jews had obeyed their own law,
Jesus would never have died. But God knows we are all sinners, we will all
disobey, and we all need grace. We all need Jesus. Where have you recently
failed in compassion or been corrupt in your ways, violating the spirit or
letter of God’s law? Will you ask God’s mercy through Jesus right now? Will you
accept it?
Write: Here or privately.
Recite: …for I the Lord your God am a
jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of the parents, to the third
and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the
thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus
20:5-6
Pray: Almighty God, help me to obey you in
all things. Thank you for your mercy and love. Amen.
