Matchless mercy. Unrivalled wisdom. Authentic compassion. Unfailing love. All of these attributes of God are essential to know, but knowing about God is not the same as actually knowing God. This week, we remember He is the God we can know.

Jesus, our King and Redeemer, does wondrous things in our lives. His mercy is matchless, His wisdom is unrivalled, and He alone is Faithful and True. Perhaps, no other parable Jesus shared better illustrates the Father’s love than in the story of the Lost Son: A rebellious young man, a self-righteous older brother, and a father like no other. This story of unfailing love is a beautiful reminder of the Gospel, of God’s grace for us, and how we can enjoy a right relationship with our Father forever.
To our Chinese friends and church family, as you celebrate Chinese New Year, we pray the light and love of Jesus will shine brightly in your lives. We pray that those who don’t know the goodness of Jesus will see God’s grace in you, and that you will have the opportunity to share with loved ones the message of the Gospel. Happy New Year!

The past few weeks we have been thinking about God’s Kingdom. His Mercy is not just for us, but as His people, His mercy is ours to share with those in need. We can show merciful kindness to others in Jesus’ name. Likewise, His wisdom is abundant in our lives, throughout creation, and in the universe. Authentic faith is demonstrated by our confident trust in Him.
Now, we look at how Jesus, though tempted in every way, was faithful and true. He is the perfect and blameless Redeemer who took on all our sin and shame. His grace, truly, is amazing.

Last week, we focused on the matchless mercy of God, remembering their is no comparison to the kindness of God. This week, we will focus our hearts on the wisdom of God. As Job said, "His wisdom is profound, his power is vast... He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.” (Job 9:4,10).

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
This week we begin looking at the Kingdom of Jesus — the rule and reign of Jesus. Like other kingdoms, the King leads the way, shapes the culture, and governs the people. But there is no kingdom, like the Kingdom of Jesus. There is no king, like our King Jesus. As Christ followers, our lives will increasingly reflect the unmistakable attributes of Jesus as we know Him more.
