More and Even More

     We are fortunate to live in God’s grace. Grace is the good news of Jesus. In addition to Webster’s definitions of the ways we use the word, like “goodwill” and “beauty of form or movement,” there is the definition, “God’s love.” Yes, grace is God’s love poured out through His Son. We live in His grace day by day and as we continue to talk about the “more” of Jesus, there it is; His abundant grace.

For from His fullness we have received grace upon grace. John 1:16 ESV

     When you think you can’t be forgiven one more time. When that nasty habit rears its ugly head or you speak out in anger or use God’s name in vain, the Holy Spirit convicts us with a gentle voice and Jesus waits for us again to come back to Him. He reminds His child that it was finished on the cross. He never leaves us. He just keeps washing over us with His grace. And then more grace. Grace upon grace.

Jesus,
Thank you for Your never-ending grace. Your gospel is the gospel of grace. What a beautiful Word from You. May we never forget it.

Amen
