Here we are again at the Camp
of Grace, located at the foot of the Cross
where GRACE is found in its purest form. Where GRACE is profound, and its effects are both far-reaching and life changing!!!

The next few blogs will
answer your questions regarding “what does GRACE look like?” The examples we will be
looking at are: GOD'S LOVE; THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS; PAUL'S GRACE and MY GRACE.
Our most perfect example of GRACE began, of course, with GOD. He sent His only Son, JESUS, as the sacrifice for our sins. He sent His only Son, Jesus, to suffer and die for our sins. What AMAZING GRACE for a Father to do such a thing!
We continue today on our journey into MORE GRACE. We continue looking at a most perfect example of GRACE which is found in the life of Jesus, God’s Son. How He walked and talked during His time on earth and the SACRIFICE OF HIS LIFE which He gave for you and me.
To begin today thought let’s
look at part of the definition of
GRACE found in the Bible dictionary. (There are many facets to the definitions
of GRACE.) GRACE here, at this level of our journey, means the unmerited, undeserved favor of God. This
favor came to earth in the person Jesus!!! He was deeply moved by the
conditions of people’s hearts and lives. He saw deeply into their hearts and
souls, and was moved to help them. He healed their bruised and hurt hearts and
the bad effects of their bad lives. He relieved the inwardly tormented people
and cured their bodily ills. He touched the untouchables. He kept company with
disreputable characters according to the religious standards. He went to the
lost and the confused. He offered GRACE to everyone, regardless of age, sex or
race. He was God’s GRACE sent to earth and still offers it to us today in our
pitiful conditions! OH WHAT AMAZING GRACE THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE I!!! In
fact, even on the cross, He offered this AMAZING GRACE by saying, “Father,
forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34. Even then,
in that moment of horrific suffering He offered unmerited, undeserved favor,
GOD’S AMAZING GRACE!!! Unbelievable but true!!! :)
These truths, both GOD’S LOVE
and THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS, should not be rushed in our hearts and minds. We
need to SELAH, pause and calmly think! Remember, to give MORE GRACE we need to RECEIVE
MORE GRACE. And these two examples are GRACE in its purest form!
This weekend and coming week
get your Bibles out and read the gospels of Jesus. I believe you will gain MORE
revelation and receive MORE GRACE so you can begin to be a greater blessing to
your family!
We are standing on holy ground!
Enjoy Your Journey,
Blessings,
