I teasingly told my Sunday school ladies one morning that God didn’t look down at the world one day and think, “Wow, things have gotten way out of control. I better come up with a way to fix it.” Oh no, God had a plan to heal our brokenness even before time began. His plan was Jesus, our Savior, who by grace frees us from sin’s hold. Our sin nature separated us from God the Father. He knew there was no way we could work our way into right relationship with Him. So He bridged the cavernous sin-gap with the cross of Jesus. He saved us, and He calls us to live in a way that brings glory to Him and points others to Him. Grace is available to ALL. No one is too far gone for God’s grace to reach. Share His grace with someone today—tell them the story of Jesus. Truly, it is the most precious story ever told!
