The Mercy of Jesus

One of the most fascinating stories in the Bible is found in the life of the prophet Hosea. This prophet’s life became a graphic drama that showed the relationship of God to His people.

Hosea married a woman who was a prostitute. Though her life had been disgraceful, he loved and honored her, never holding her past against her. He blessed her with love and devotion. But Gomer refused to truly change her ways and heart, and after a time she began to meet other lovers. Despite her infidelity, Hosea loved her and would bring her back into his home when she would come to her senses. Finally, she left Hosea altogether. She loved the glamorous but debauched life she threw herself into. But as her beauty faded, her lovers were repulsed by her and rejected her. She ended up on the auction block as a common slave.

But there was one who still loved her: Hosea. He still saw a beauty that others did not. He paid the price for her freedom and brought her back to his home with all the honor and blessing she had before. What a story of unmerited favor and never-ending love. We recognize who is God in this drama and who are the people that forget the Most High God to fall in bed with other nations.

Yet God is faithful even when we are not. Jesus Christ paid the price to deliver us from bondage to sin and death once and for all. And He continues to offer that to us today even if we have been unfaithful. My friends, let’s keep our devotion to God pure. If we should ever stray, let’s return immediately to His arms of love. What does He want from us? Love me. Recognize me as God.

I do love you with all my heart, dear God. May I ever be faithful and true to you with your grace and power sustaining my promises to you.
