"Mercy, peace, and
love be multiplied to you." (Jude 1:2)
Jude knew that the
Church of his day was facing difficult days,
and would be comforted and encouraged,
knowing that he was praying for multiplied
mercy, peace, and love for them. He
also knew that giving them practical
examples of how to live in these times,
would be beneficial to them, and those
around them. (see Jude 20-21)
In his challenge to the Christians to
contend earnestly for the faith, Jude's
prayer and pleading to the Father was that
multiplied blessings be bestowed on all
those who are in Christ Jesus. He
asked that an overflowing abundance of
mercy, peace, and love be showered on all
who trust in Jesus.
This prayer for
multiplied blessings of mercy, peace, and
love is equally needed today. Like
Jude, we too should plead God's mercy on all
His children, knowing that we also live in
difficult and challenging times. Let
us unite to plead God's mercy and peace and
love on all Who are in Christ Jesus.
