In his fullness grace upon grace

  Matthew 9:14-17

Jesus has accomplished all the requirements of laws for us by bearing all our iniquities upon him and giving us his grace, truth and power in holy spirit.The disciples were old garment ,old wineskins heart before Jesus plan of salvation accomplished..and they were not able to bear the laws or follow it...like fasting etc...but after the days of passion death resurrection and ascension, lord gave holy spirit to empower them conquer weaknesses of flesh out of Jesus love poured by holy spirit to crush flesh and live in spirit.

 So, let us offer ourselves in faith in a real desire to the grace and mercy of our lord jesus christ who waits for each of us to empower us in holy spirit and transform us to his likeness. Let us offer  our old self and everything that we find hard to be in communion with lord unto his saving power. Let us *not try to patch up* by self but *be ready to change to new as the word of God reveals to us to change*, to desire sincerely to crush our hard divided heart and our old self to be washed in blood of Jesus to a new creation with humble heart-a new wineskin- to live in spirit and do everything according to his wish, out of Love for Jesus.

 Let us *not judge* others or anything *with a pharisean mind*, but instead reflect upon our own life and how our lord is forgiving us and is helping us ,a sinner, to be found righteous in Him to grow to his fullness and  pray for all to be filled in Jesus mercy ,his holy spirit and wisdom to grow to fullness in  Jesus. 

 All will receive grace in Lord's time, just as the apostles did in pentecost after Jesus passion death resurrection and ascension. Let us confess to our Lord to pour his grace to *remove the old leaven* in us.. *Strip off lord jesus our old self and renew us in your mercy to a new creation in you*. Amen
