But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. Luke 9:55
This statement came out of the mouth of Christ, after he was urge by His disciples to allow them to call down fire from heaven to destroy the people of Samaria, simply because they refuse the message of Christ. However, Christ immediate respond tells us about the mind of Christ not just for the righteous, but also for the sinners.
If Christ can be that merciful even when He knew it was right within His power to rain down fire on the Samaria community, what about us who are save and have the imputed righteousness of Christ. It is high time brethren we begin to see a lovely Christ and not a condemning Christ. He came to Love and not to hate. He came to save and not to scared. Whatever you must have done, dust yourself and get up and keep on going for Christ hasn't condemned you. Don't ever accommodate condemnation, it does not lead to repentance it only scared you away from God's mercy and truth. Grace....
