Day 341 - Daniel 9-10 & 2 John
“Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.” (2 John 1:3 ESV)
Advent is the time in the church year when we prepare to celebrate the coming (advent) of the Christ Child that first Christmas. The words from John’s second letter reveal the blessings Jesus brings to all who, like the shepherds, worship and adore Him.
“Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.”
God showers all who trust in His Son as their Savior and Lord with His grace, mercy and peace. In fact, these are the treasures you find every time you attend church and He comes to you through His Word and Sacraments. Today's picture reminds us that God's gifts of grace, mercy and peace are given to us in Baptism, the Lord's Supper and in the Bible.
Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing all repentant sinners, including me, with Your grace, mercy and peace. Please help me to remember these gifts as I face the challenges of this new day. Amen.
