Jesus I trust in You!

Today is Divine Mercy Sunday.  We celebrate the truth that God's mercy is limitless and endures forever.

"Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”  And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.  If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
(John 20:21-23 NIV)

"Stop doubting and believe.”  Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”  (John 20:27-28 NIV)

ABC OF MERCY:
Ask for Mercy.
Be Merciful.
Completely trust Jesus for Mercy.

Why are you scandalized by my suffering? Read the Scriptures.

There is a divine necessity that Jesus must suffer.  No cross, no crown is also a divine law.

"They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.

Do you know for certain that Jesus is both God and Savior?  This truth can make you free.

God raised this Jesus; of this we are witnesses.

“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know."
(Acts 2:22 NKJV)

"This Jesus, when delivered up according to the definite and fixed purpose and settled plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and put out of the way [killing Him] by the hands of lawless and wicked men.  [But] God raised Him up, liberating Him from the pangs of death, seeing that it was not possible for Him to continue to be controlled or retained by it."
(Acts 2:23-24 AMP)

“God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this."  (Acts 2:32 NLT)
