Grace. A “simple” single-syllable word. Easily spoken. Freely offered. Difficult to grasp while easy to overlook. Too often missed. The difference between life and death. Grace.
We heard a teenager’s testimony today. It told a story Jesus allowed to be written into one’s life. A story of lies, shame, self-defeat and a slow death of spirit. A story of the Redeemer freely extending grace and redeeming one’s story so one can forevermore live in freedom of forgiveness. A story which, when shared, extended grace in Truth so clearly that others began (maybe for the first time) to believe they are not beyond forgiveness; maybe they too can know the redemptive work of the One that gives grace and forgives. They can know Truth and live in Him, abiding in His redemptive clothing (grace and forgiveness). It is a message worth sharing. The message we are here to live and share.
We heard a testimony today. We worshipped our Redeemer. We cried. We hugged. We rejoiced. Our Redeemer lives, and because He lives I can face tomorrow without condemnation. Grace. A story worth repeating.
