We are all students of life and the world. Only God has all of the answers. God performs continuously with the confidence that comes from being perfect. We marvel at that and those of us who aspire to do better would try to be more like Him. But we all make mistakes and that is where repenting comes in. If we repent from our mistakes and misgivings we will be forgiven and share in the grace of a better life with God.

God is love and love needs tending.  Praise his name because he loves us.

When Jesus came to us he learned about corruption in the church as well as elsewhere. His divine love for humanity wouldn't let it go without notice so he became a strong voice against it. As people heard him speak they heard about a loving God that would forgive you if you repented from your sins. The conflict that Jesus entered into by challenging the church cost him his life. He was publicly hung up on a cross (probably as an example to others) until he died. The combination of the events that followed along with events in his life to date were so compelling that his name quickly spread as the messiah and his followers could not be stopped. Some of his devoted follower would rather die than renounce him as their God.

Amen
