The Measure Of Christ's Gift

"But the grace we receive is not grace according to how well we treat people in our lives, or grace according to how impressive we are - it comes to us "according to the measure of Christ's gift."...unconditional, overflowing love!"  - p. 25

Do you ever struggle to receive the fullness of God's grace through Christ, thinking that because of the depth of your sin, it somehow it doesn't apply to you in as full of measure as it does to someone else?  That' why we include Confession & Forgiveness so often in worship. To remind ourselves, once again, that Jesus' gift of overflowing love drowns all our sin, no matter how great. This is the gift that comes to us in baptism.

Thanks be to God!
