Topic: Grace

Jesus had to take the cup of God’s wrath. He didn’t come to wield the sword but to step under it for us: It was the only way! True salvation is not something we can achieve, but something we must receive.

God’s ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.

This parable makes it clear that if we love our neighbors only when it requires no time, energy, money, or risk, we will never love our neighbors as ourselves. All love is costly.

The more aware I am of what God has yet to do in me … the less aware I am of what He has yet to do in you.

Grace doesn’t compare. Because Grace in Jesus is always married to truth. And the truth is: we have all fallen short of God’s standard.

Grace is not fair.  It is better than fair!
