Today’s Morning Word

Good morning 🌅

Monday’s word from Scripture…📖

Zephaniah 3:17.
…
“The LORD your God is among you.
He is a mighty Savior.
The LORD delights in you with joy, and in His love He gives you rest.
He will rejoice over you with loud singing”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The name Zephaniah means, “The LORD is hidden.”

True to his name… he conveyed the message hidden from the LORD to the people of Judah,
but it seems few would listen to his prophecy…😓
…

God gave His beloved child Jesus for the salvation of mankind.
That precious life
He gave as a substitute for us sinners…😢

That is how much
He loves you❗️
The great love of Jesus, who paid that sacrifice…
When even one person accepts that love and the salvation of the cross ✝️ and returns to God…
God’s joy bursts into rejoicing❗️
…

Next Sunday afternoon…
there are people who will newly return to Jesus…
and in heaven there will be a great party 🎉,
and the LORD’s joy will resound throughout heaven all the more…
Luke chapter 15.
“Please rejoice with me❗️
For the son who was lost has come back” — that voice of rejoicing…
…

“Come, let us eat and celebrate.
For this son was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and has been found 😭”
…

How much He loves you…😥
…

Your life was rescued from hell… in exchange for the life of Jesus…😨
…

To that love of Jesus,
how will you respond…?

Shalom 😄
