GOD loves it when people live right and pursue justice.
2 CORINTHIANS 8:9 (MSG)
You are familiar with the generosity of our Master, Jesus Christ. Rich as he was, he gave it all away for us—in one stroke he became poor and we became rich.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God loves us so much that he sacrificed to pursue righteousness and justice on our behalf.
DAILY FODDER
Practically speaking, how does the sacrifice of Christ affect your day-to-day life?
PRAYER
God of all, your love for making things right is incomprehensible. You made Christ poor to make me rich. What an amazing gift! Your great love encourages me when so much of my life is consumed with unrighteousness and betrayal. Send your Holy Spirit to convict my heart of your generous act so I can be rich to others. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
