“He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as He said to our fathers.”
Through Christ, God showed His mercy, not only to the children of Israel, but also to the rest of the world. Javanese people from Indonesia recognized their need for mercy when they faced a crisis in the mid 1960s. Though the majority remain Muslim, there is a strong minority of followers of Christ, because many fled to the merciful arms of Jesus. As you will see from today’s reading, the Indonesians who live in Saudi Arabia are also in need of mercy. But mercy is in very short supply in this land of rigid laws and harsh injustice.
Pray that the Indonesians in Saudi Arabia will flee to the Merciful One. Pray that they will be His instruments of mercy to the Saudi Arabs.
