Good evening, brethren. 1. Evening devotion for today ED.i. *DAILY WALK WITH CHRIST* (COCIN DEVOTIONAL) *DATE:* THURSDAY, 14TH MAY, 2026. *SUB-THEME:* RESPONSE TO GRACE. *TOPIC:* EXTENDING GRACE TO OTHERS. *TEXT:* MATHEW 18:23-34. 23 “That is why the kingdom from heaven may be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he had begun to settle the accounts, a person who owed him 10,000 talents was brought to him. 25 Because he couldn’t pay, his master ordered him, his wife, his children, and everything that he owned to be sold so that payment could be made. Mat 5:25 26 Then the servant fell down and bowed low before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything!’ 27 The master of that servant had compassion and released him, canceling his debt. 28 “But when that servant went away, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him, seized him by the throat, and said, ‘Pay what you owe!’ 29 Then his fellow servant fell down and began begging him, ‘Be patient with me and I will repay you!’ 30 But he refused and had him thrown into prison until he could repay the debt. 31 “When his fellow servants saw what had happened, they were very disturbed and went and reported to their master everything that had occurred. 32 Then his master sent for him and told him, ‘You evil servant! I canceled that entire debt for you because you begged me. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers until he could repay the entire debt. *TOPIC:* EXTENDING GRACE TO OTHERS. *THE MESSAGE:* In our passage, Jesus tells a story of a king who was gracious to his debtor and cancelled his enormous debt. However, the forgiven debtor acted in a contrary manner. He exerted on his debtor and had him jailed till he paid him. What arrant wickedness! Christians are no many different from the forgiven debtor. They are not gracious in dealing with others. They insist on taking their pound of flesh when wronged. Some have dragged their fellow Christians to court on insignificant issues. Beloved, since God has graciously forgiven you of many sins, you also ought to extend grace to your brethren. Do not trample on God's grace by demanding 'payment' from your erring brothers. Extend grace to others as a response to God's unwavering grace. In so doing, others will see the brightness of your faith. *REFLECTION:* Be gracious to others. *PRAYER:* Father, help me to treat others graciously. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* TITUS 2:12. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age. *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* ESTHER 5-7. ED.ii.

John 3:16 Full Gospel How important it is that we realise the truth of the full gospel of God. If I asked 10 people to profess the Gospel.. I would receive 10 different answers. Each is likely to be correct up to a point and yet each one is likely to miss out some vital, important, glorious, eternal element. Sparkling Gemstone God is one and yet God is three persons.. yet God is multifaceted in His beauty. The gospel is one, yet its truths are like so many cut faces on a sparkling gemstone. John 3:16 is a most loved and precious passage to all believers, and this verse is likely to be the most inclusive proclamation on the Gospel. Gospel of God Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.. was the gospel reality to the Philippian jailer, and John the Baptist and Jesus both proclaimed the gospel of the coming Kingdom. I am the Resurrection and the Life.. was the great gospel the two sisters discovered – while Paul proclaimed ‘my gospel’ – which is the gospel of the grace and glory of Christ Multi-Dimensional Each wonderful truth is a constituent part of a multi-dimensional gospel, yet the full gospel in all its splendour has deeper depths than this and fuller truths – a gospel that we are likely to spend an eternity considering its astonishing wonders. Profound Words Austin Sparks’ proclamation of the gospel is so simple and yet so profound:- It is that the Son of God, Who is Son of Man, has come, and His coming, has expressed to the world (before times eternal...) the divine type of what God intended..His race to be – what His creation should be….that is God, contracted to the span of human life; God manifest in the flesh; combining His Own essential nature with another kind of creation called ‘man’. And in that combination producing out of Himself a type – a kind – a species – a new creation in Christ, which never occupied the world before. Christ in You A species which was in God’s thought and God’s heart and God’s conception before the foundation of the world. A creature, in which God is resident Himself by His Divine nature. And in the coming of the Lord Jesus, Who is the anointed One – the Christ of God, we have a species represented, (in Christ) – we have that type manifested, (in Christ) – we have God’s nature displayed in human flesh, (in Christ) And some are destined to be conformed into the image of the Son of God – those who become identified with Him, in oneness of the Divine Life. Those destined to be the instruments for the manifestation of God – that manifestation to be demonstrated by God – indwelling man. Hope of Glory Oh yes… The full, multi-dimensional yet single Gospel is indeed a glorious mystery.. a mystery which has been hid from all ages and generations, which is Christ in you the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26 Member of His Body The Gospel mystery is great and it is amazingly awe-inspiring and we are very members of His body: bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Ephesians 5:30 both a personal and corporate reality. The Gospel is both a manifestation and revelation of the heart of God, before the foundation of the earth in the distant, eternal past. New Creation A people for Himself – a new creation… A peculiar people through whom He manifests Himself to creation. Living souls made in His image and likeness… A new race in whom He is revealed. Beings out of His creation who are partakers of His divine nature. And all this resulting from the representative Man, achieving His work at Calvary. All this the consequence of Jesus Christ – Who is Son of God and Son of Man. The God-Man Have we even started to scratch the surface of this God-Man Who loves us so dearly that He did this for you ?— as He did this for me too.. Have we the audacity to doubt His Word or question His Love for us ? Let us fall on our face and tremble – when we recognise who we are In Christ Jesus. And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen John 21:25 Post navigation Previous Post Previous What Faith ? Proudly powered by WordPress. 2. Evening Prayer for today. EP.i. Evening Prayer Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. ⏤ Isaiah 1:18 The best remedy for a troubled heart is to focus on God’s unchanging character. ⏤ Charles Stanley O Lord, we bow before You in loving reverence. All our blessings come from You, and we praise You. We are sinful, and You are holy. We are not worthy to approach You, yet You have made a way for us to draw near to You with confidence, as children to a Father. Lord, cleanse our hearts as we come to You. Fill us with Your Spirit so that, renewed in the spirit of our minds, we may display all the virtues and graces of the Christian life in our daily walk. We need Your cleansing tonight after the day's journey in this sin-stained world. Our feet have been soiled in the dust as we walked through the day, our hands have been stained with the evil around us, our lips have spoken words we should not have spoken, and our hearts have been made unclean by wrong thoughts, feelings, and imaginations. Cleanse us tonight. Wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow! We have cares and worries that distract us at the end of the day. Help us to lay them all in Your hands and leave them there. Give us Your peace. Help us to cast our burdens on You and trust that You will take care of them. Make all things work together for our good. Have pity tonight, O God, on this sorrowful, sinful world. Remember the poor and open the hearts of those who have plenty to help those in need. Look with compassion on the sick and give them relief or the patience to endure their pain. Comfort those who are in sorrow. Hear us in these evening prayers, we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/39/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
