BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST

 

Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. — “so as no longer to affect our relations to Him.”

 

          The forbearance of the eternal God is wonderfully condensed in this one verse, but it is surrounded by …

 

His tender mercy

 

Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

 

And the care of a father’s love.

 

Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

 

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

Luke 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

Luke 23:42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 

Father, I am grateful that between the East and the West I found JESUS. AMEN
