its the other side that we need to talk about. We dont know Gods
heart very well.
Thats where Psalm 103 can help us
tremendously. Perhaps no other

reached the final chapter yet. Were somewhere near the end, but
were not sure how far away we are. But we know this much.
Eventually God will bring everything to light, and he will judge with
impartiality. In that day there will be no hiding, no excuse-making, no
bribes, and no way of escape.
All those who labor for a better
world and a more just society and
those who stretch out a helping
handyou have to believe this or
you cant go on. The words of James

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his
love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us (vv. 11-12).

them up, he takes them away, and he puts them so far away from us
that we could never find them if we searched for them for a thousand
years. They are gone forever.
My sins can never come back to haunt me again.
Even Satan cant bring them back.
In his sermon on these verses Jim Nicodem says that God has . . .
A long fuse - slow to anger (v. 8),
A short memory-"does not harbor his anger forever (v. 9),
A thick skin-"does not treat us as our sins deserve (v. 10), and
A great heart-"so great is his love, so far has he removed our sins
(vv. 11-12).
Im glad we have a God like that because that exactly the kind of God
we need.

because the little has become a lot. Just this morning I realized that I
hadnt shaved in two days. And when I looked in the mirror I saw little
bits of gray stubble all over my face. I think if I let my beard grow, it
would be mostly gray. When God puts gray in your beard, its like the
leaves turning brown in the fall. Its Gods way of saying, You wont
be here forever.
Every now and then Ill run across a bit of cemetery humor that
makes me chuckle. I was driving down a major thoroughfare in
Chicago next to one of those cemeteries that seems to go on forever.
Because it is a long stretch of road with no stop lights, people tend to
break the speed limit routinely. So I laughed when I saw a billboard
sponsored by the cemetery that said, Slow Down. Well save a place
for you. Im sure they will.
If thats all there is, if we are here today and gone tomorrow, if thats
the end of the story, then there isnt much hope. But let me share
something with you. If you dont have anything else to be thankful for
this year, heres something you can hang your hat on. Our hope is not
in man or in anything man can do.
Our hope is in the everlasting God!

Someone has said that life without Christ is a hopeless end, but life
with Christ is an endless hope. And this endless hope is not only to us
but to our childrens children. What will we leave our children? A vast
estate? A large inheritance? A huge life insurance policy? Whatever we
may say about earthly possessions, they pale next to the privilege of
passing down a godly heritage, a tapestry of truth, and a pattern of
believing that our children and grandchildren can claim as their own.
In a transient and passing world
where everything fades away, we
have the promise that we are linked
to the future even after we are
gone by the faithfulness of God to
our children to our childrens

And we have found that mercyor rather, that mercy has found us-i-n
the cross of Jesus Christ. During one of his sermons Billy Graham told
the story of a patrolman on night duty in a town in northern England.
As he walked the streets, he heard a quivering sob. Shining his
flashlight into the darkness, he saw a little boy in the shadows sitting
on a doorstep and tears were running down his cheek. The child said,
Im lost. Please take me home. And the policeman began naming
street after street, trying to help the boy remember where he lived.
He named the shops and the hotels in the area but the little boy could
give him no clue.
Then he remembered that at the center of the town there was a
church with a large white cross that towered above the rest of the
city. The policeman pointed to the cross and said, Do you live
anywhere near that place? The little boys face immediately
brightened up. He said, Yes, sir. Take me to the cross and I can find
my way home.
All that we believe, all that we have,
all that we hope for is found in the
cross of Christ. Go to the cross and

No one who met our Lord ever stayed the same. If Christmas tells us why Jesus came, then Easter tells us
he fully accomplished his mission. In between those two events we have the whole life of Christ. Thats
our focus as we walk In His Steps, a book of 47 devotionals for the season of Lent (the period of time leading up to Easter).
