TOPIC: THE MAGIC WORD: PARDON ME
MEMORISE: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Psalm 51:1
READ: Psalms 51:1-5
[1](To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.) Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
[2]Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
[3]For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
[4]Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
[5]Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
MESSAGE
The phrase ‘pardon me’ is used to politely say sorry when a fellow accidentally interrupts while another fellow is in the middle of saying or doing something.
For example, you can say, “Oh! Pardon me, I didn’t mean to disturb you.” The phrase could also be used to say sorry in a polite way when you make an impolite sound, especially after eating.
It could also be used to politely correct someone or disagree with them. For example, you can say, “Kate, if you’ll pardon me, you’ve got it all wrong.”
The phrase ‘pardon me’ can also be used to get someone’s attention in order to ask them a question. For example, you can say, “Pardon me, can you direct me to the restroom?”
Everyone deserves to be respected; hence, you should use words that express kindness, good character, love, and consideration for other people.
If you can get accustomed to this etiquette early enough in life, you will have a beautiful relationship with people.
KEY POINT
Speak nicely to people.
In Luke, the woman cleaned Jesus’ feet with two things. What were they?
HYMN 19 – THERE’S NOT A FRIEND LIKE THE LOWLY JESUS
- There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases–
No, not one! no, not one!
CHORUS:
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus–
No, not one! no, not one!
2 No friend like Him is so high and holy–
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly–
No, not one! no, not one
3 There’s not an hour that He is not near us –
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us–
No, not one! no, not one!
- Did ever saint find this friend forsake him?
No not one! no not one!
Or sinner find that he would not take him?
No not one! no not one! - Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! no, not one!
