God, Our Father of Infinite Love ㅡ

 “It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”

 (Lamentations 3:22, 40)

The unconverted man thinks of God as unloving, as severe, and even revengeful.

But when Jesus is seen upon the cross, as the gift of God because He loved man, the eyes are opened to see things in a new light.

God as revealed in Christ is not a severe judge, an avenging tyrant, but a merciful and loving Father.

The teacher needs the grace of Christ upon his own soul, in order to make known to the sinner what God really is—a Father waiting with yearning love to receive the returning prodigal, not hurling at him accusations in wrath, but preparing a festival of joy to welcome his return (Zephaniah 3:17).
