*The Point of Impact - Week 2, Day 4 (This are not daily devotional thoughts this week - as we focus on Renew. To learn more about this GREAT work, look here: renewweekend.org/home/) Enjoy these last 2 thoughts from Week 2 this week. Thursday, May 1 Read - “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile.” Romans 3:22 Review - Mercy impacts the way we see people. We tend to view people based more on how we are different rather than how we are alike. Mercy calls us to realize “there is no difference” because nobody is that good; we are all sick and in need of mercy. So, don’t get offended by hypocrites at church, because sick people are supposed to be in a hospital. If there are no sinners in our church we need to shut the thing down. Be careful of being critical of the critical because “everyone needs compassion, a love that’s never failing.” We need mercy too. Respond - Take a look at Luke 18:9-14. Which of these 2 men do you relate to the most? What needs to change in your heart to help you see people like Jesus does? As you go through this day, reflect on this statement Rick made: “You and I need too much grace ourselves to ever treat anyone disgracefully.” Let God’s mercy fall on you today.
