Thought for the Week
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure (1 John 3:1-3).
Al Masters in Pennsylvania had a little boy and a small business and considered himself very blessed. Then just before Christmas some years ago, a 15-year-old kid driving a car without a license killed Al’s little boy. It sent Al Masters into a rage with a deep desire for revenge. The law exempted the 15-year-old from the maximum penalty, because he was a juvenile, but Al Masters wanted the very book thrown at him.
Then, on Christmas Eve, his wife got him to go to church. There, he heard the story of the angel’s announcement to the shepherds of Christ’s coming and realized that he was one of the world’s “ungood.” He began to weep over his own sin. The next day, on Christmas, he set out to find out more about the boy who killed his son. He found that he came from a broken home, that he lived with his mother, who was an alcoholic. He went and he met the boy. He gave the boy a job in his shop, and then later took him into his home (Bruce Thielemann, “Glory to God in the Lowest,” Preaching Today, Tape No. 75).
That’s what God did for you when you trusted Christ with your life. His wrath burned against your sin, which killed His Son on the cross. But instead of enacting revenge and the full penalty of the law, God made you a part of His family and gave you a job in His kingdom.
