A Word From The Pastor: Dr. Timothy Nelson

"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.
