<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nDaily Reading: <\/strong>Amos 8-9 GW<\/a>; Acts 15 GW<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Judaizers, the name for Jewish Christians, believed Gentiles should follow the law of Moses. The Jerusalem Council was the meeting held to address the issue. Speaking to the council, Peter reminded them of God\u2019s choice to offer the Holy Spirit to those who believed, Gentiles and Jews. After Peter gives his speech, Barnabas and Paul share the miracles they\u2019ve witnessed. In the end, everyone concluded, Jesus\u2019s kindness offers salvation to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember, as a child visiting my Aunt Margie. No matter what time of the day it was, she welcomed me with open arms. Even now, I can feel her arms wrapping around me in an all-encompassing hug. Never judging me, she always listened to whatever problem I had at the time\u2014loving me, no matter what. Her welcoming spirit drew me back to her home time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is welcoming you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is the epitome of hospitality. Arms outstretched, He\u2019s waiting for you to come to Him. Just like my aunt folded me into her arms, Jesus wants to do the same. Nothing you have done or will ever do will stop Jesus from loving you. Jesus\u2019s message is simple, \u201cWelcome home!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n One way people can learn about Jesus\u2019s welcoming spirit is through us. When we create delightful environments, people want to come to them. Just like my aunt\u2019s home was always a relaxing respite from my troubles, Jesus does the same. Having a role model like my aunt helps me understand, Jesus is an even better host than her. Where my aunt was imperfect, Jesus is perfect. And He is the King of Hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy Fathers house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?\u201d (<\/em>John 14:2 NIV<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accept Jesus\u2019 kindness. Let Him welcome you into the family. Feel Jesus\u2019 arms wrap around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Lord, thank You for creating a place for us in Your family. Forgive us for turning away from You, time and time again. Today, as we surrender our lives to You, let us feel Your presence in our life. As we search for You, let us find You. Help us accept Jesus\u2019 gift. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question for reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you feel about Jesus\u2019 love in your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 minute read.
