Today’s Audio Devotion:
Undeserved Pardon
Two important theological words often get used interchangeably—grace and mercy. But they are different, as evidenced by their use in the same sentences in the New Testament (1 Timothy 1:2; 2 Timothy 1:2; Titus 1:4). Grace is receiving something good that we do not deserve, while mercy is being spared something bad that we do deserve.
When Jacob prepared his sons to return to Egypt to get food for their family, he hoped that “the man”—meaning Joseph—would grant them mercy (Genesis 43:14). That is, that they would be spared the wrath of the Egyptian official for apparently stealing his silver in their previous trip to Egypt. For more than one reason, Joseph’s brothers deserved judgment. But when they returned to Egypt, instead of judgment they were shown mercy. Joseph prepared a banquet for them to celebrate their return. They were spared judgment (mercy) but were shown an undeserved welcome (grace).
Thank God for the grace and mercy shown to you and look for opportunities to show them to others.
Every time you draw your breath you suck in mercy.
Thomas Watson

Impact Story
“I grew up with atheist parents. They hated anything to do with God. I was recently saved while watching Turning Point. Dr. Jeremiah opened my eyes to the truth. I understand now we have a purpose here on earth. I told my parents of my faith and they were furious. But by continually reading my Bible and being encouraged by the programs and my church, I was able to influence even my father by the changes he saw in me. I convinced him to watch Turning Point with me and after the first program, he was hooked. He kept watching each week and finally asked if he could go to church with me. He was saved that Sunday along with my mother! He then talked with his two brothers and they too received Jesus when they saw the joy in him. Thank you for turning our world around.”
