Our paragraph topic is: (The mercy of Jesus) Part 2.
Time marches on and the battle continues. The dark frces of evil, in counsel with the Pharisees, have gathered together to plot the downfall of Christ. But Christ continues the battle. He cures the people that follow him. He provides miracles to the large crowds. He continues to take back the lost souls that were captured by evil. And the battle continues. With all his power and miracles Christ is merciful. Christ is forgiving. Christ is loving. For with a few words he could have brought damnation upon the Pharisees. With a few simple words he could have unleashed the powers of heaven upon those that conspired. Yet he was merciful. He was loving. And he was humble.
For it was spoken of him in the scriptures. Isaias prophesied of his manner, of his nature, of his actions. St Matthew tells us, "What was spoken through Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, who said, "Behold, my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I put my Spirit upon him, and he will declare judgment to the Gentiles."
Christ, the chosen one, beloved of God, upon whom the Spirit of God has been laid, was spoken of throughout history until his coming. He would right what was wrong. He would bring salvation. He would bring judgment to the people. He would save all mankind. For he was the chosen one of God. He came to do battle. He brought the sword of God to separate the saved from the damned, the believer from the unbeliever, the just from the unjust. And the Pharisees plotted against him even down through history as it was written. They sought to prevent his coming. They sought to destroy his word. They sought to take by force the souls of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But Christ came. Christ restored. Christ renewed. Christ made new the covenant.
Histroy tells us about the chosen one. It tells us about the history of the savior of the world. It tells us about his salvation, his resurrection, and his ascension into heaven. But today Christ lives and the spirit tells us. The spirit moves us. The spirit guides us. The spirit lives. Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit. Do you know Him? Have you received him? Why do you wait, hesitate, doubt, disbelieve that the Holy Spirit will come to you? Why do you not seek him? Why do you not know Him? Why do you not beg for him to come to you instead of praying for things of this world? The Holy Spirit will give all. The Holy Spirit will teach all. The Holy Spirit will reveal all. Christ was merciful. He was patient and continues to be patient today. But the time of the coming of the destroyer is unknown and could come any day. Do not be caught off guard. Be prepared! Be in Christ! Seek Him! Find Him! Know Him and he will know you.
