Deserve: Thankful We're Not Given

     We serve a merciful God.  Those of us who do serve God.  We're thankful we don't receive what

we deserve.  We don't know how to live or we don't accept it.  Jesus is our Sacrificial Lamb.  (1

Corinthians 5:7)  Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a hatch without yeast as you really are.  For

Christ, our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed.  We deserve what Christ received: Death.  Christ

deserves what we received, right standings with God.  All of our sins are white as snow.  (Isaiah

1:18)  "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they

shall be as white as snow.  Though they are red like crimson, they shall be wool.  This side of life

is a school for the spirit.  What we deserve should be at the forefronts of our minds.  Life is all

about reaping and sowing. 

     Some people rape other people.  They should be thankful they don't receive what they deserve.

Yes they may get locked up in jail, but they truly deserve to be disconnected from God.  Instead Jesus

received that punishment.  God valued our lives over Christ' life.  Allowing him who was without sin

to be sin for us.  We're not given what we deserve because Jesus hasn't returned and taught us how to

live.  But no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, only the Father.  (Matthew

24:36)  "Deserve" should be the word that carries us to obedience.  Obeying God's commandments

shows we love him.  (1 John 5:3)  This is love for God: to obey his commands.  And his commands

are not burdensome.  How scared are we of the word, "Deserve?"  Just vision ourselves getting it.
