never see death”. Sadly, when Jesus presented this to the
Jews, they “picked up stones to throw at Him”. In our
own way, do we ever “throw stones” at God and His cove-
nants by forgetting His promises and turning from His
love? The “Good News” is that no matter what we do,
God will never break His covenants. His love, mercy,
kindness and friendship are boundless and infinite. He
waits patiently for us to respond. No one is excluded. With God, truly ALL ARE
WELCOME!

Let us Pray. Dear Father in heaven, may we always be reminded of your con-
stant and unfailing love for us. You have promised us for the ages that we are
your people, and that You will always have a home for us. May we never take
You, Your love or Your promises for granted, and may we always do our best to
return Your love, do Your will, and keep our part of the bargain. We ask this
through Christ our Lord, Amen.
