The God Who Keeps Speaking
The God Who Keeps Speaking
John 8:25-26; Romans 5:8; 2 Peter 3:9
When the crowd asked Jesus who he was, he had already answered the question many times. Yet he kept speaking. He did not walk away in frustration. He did not give up on people who were slow to hear. This is the character of God on full display. He is patient beyond what any person deserves. He keeps showing up, keeps declaring truth, keeps offering grace even to those who have turned their backs on him repeatedly. If you have been running from him, understand this, he has not stopped calling. His message has not changed. Today is still an open door.
Can you recall a moment when God kept pursuing you even after you had walked away?
How does God's patience toward you shape the way you extend patience to others who have not yet believed?
