“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like
me.”
This first line from the famous hymn proclaims the
magnificent transformation from cursed to blessed – all through the power of GRACE.
Grace that is realized and experienced refuses to condemn
and alienate fellow sinners, but rather imitates the Father’s love for all
mankind, beckoning fellow sinners to respond. If we were anything good apart
from Jesus, then the Son would not have left the Father in glory to be brutally
sacrificed for sinners like me. Praise God our Father in heaven for grace so
underserved and altogether wonderful. Grace calls to all people everywhere; Jesus
has defeated death and He alone holds the keys to life. Come know the Savior of
the world and respond in worship, for we are made pure by His great sacrifice.
Follow Jesus and He will wash you in the purifying blood of His life giving
payment on our behalf. Let us use our every breath to proclaim grace and God’s
love to all people, inviting all fellow sinners to respond to Jesus’ call to know
grace.
Death’s power could not hold the eternal Son of God. Jesus
burst forth from the grave by the word of the Father, conquering death definitively.
This was the Father’s redemptive plan for cursed mankind, how great a love that
He would show us such grace.
Thank you Father for your grace poured out on me, may I always share this grace and welcome all to know and respond accordingly.
