Be Worthy to be Marked by
God.
The Lord marks those whom
he wants to save. The houses of Israel were marked with blood before the angel
of the Lord passed over and killed the Egyptian firstborn and saved the Israel
children. The Lord gives protection to those whom he chooses. Protection and
care are made available in many ways. For nothing is impossible to God.
Everything is in the control of God. Let everyone submit to him so the Lord’s
protection may be with us.
Those marked to save were
those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things they have done.
One of the prime ways to receive God’s mercy is to repent for the wrong one has
done. Anyone can fail in living up to the expectations of God’s law but on a
failure, one should show signs of grief and look forward to God’s mercy. Such
persons are saved by the Church here on earth and in eternity.
Do we grieve over the
evil that we have done?
