The Jesus Prayer - A Meditation

Let us look closely at the familiar prayer: 

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.” 

Within these words are a rich meaning and a prayer for our own conversion

Lord—Why is Jesus Lord?  He is the master, He is the way to eternal life. His life death and resurrection show us that He is Savior and God.  We owe him no less then everything 

Jesus Christ—God, anointed as Christ, and Jesus the human together in one being.  We are aninted by virtue of the work of Jesus on earth, so we are also other Christs. But all    needs to go through Him to ake sense for us, who are other and holy as well.

Sinner—We separate ourselves from the Love of God every day.  Once we realize this, we can take on the nature of sinner.  We need to remember that being sinner means being able to accept the forgivenss and mercy of God.

Mercy—We do not get mercy ourselves without God.  Once we fill with Gods merdy and realize it, we will overflow with that mercy and become more an instrument of Gods love mercy and peace in our everyday lives.

By saying the words repeatedly, and meditating upon them, the prayer moves from head into heart and Jesus will welcome you to his true presence. "Peace be with you!".

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.”
