Give thanks to the LORD for His redeeming mercy and His wonderful work to deliver the lost.
Love must be at the heart of Christian service because it is eternally greater than all other gifts.
Take care that your service does not distract you from listening to the word of the Lord.
Jesus Christ sets the standard and shows the way for the love that is to be at the heart of your Christian service.
Only the mercy of God through Jesus will give you eternal life and make possible the mercy God wants you to show to your neighbours.
