Day 5 - The Big Story Act 4

Christianity 101

We’ve been looking at the story of Christian faith as a six act play, beginning with creation, rebellion, then a time of trying to reconnect with God on our own, even with God’s help, that failed.

We continue an overview of the Christian story in six acts with Act 4, Jesus.

Question: If you were an actor in that play gone wrong, how would the director's intervention change the play, and you?

Grace is the most powerful force in the world, it is what makes Christian faith stand out like a jewel—the world craves it—people are so hungry for grace, often desperate for grace—and grace is there for all people.

Grace is Christian faith’s best gift to the world, a spiritual nova in our midst, exerting a force stronger than vengeance, stronger than racism, stronger than hate.

Imagine grace during the Rwandan genocide, imagine grace in Iraq, imagine grace in a time of marriage breakdown, just imagine grace everywhere…grace says there is nothing I can do to make God love me more, there is nothing I can do to make God love me less…

Imagine grace in your life…a fresh start, forgiveness, a relationship with God, and hope for the future.

What difference would grace make in your own life?  How have you been trying to earn salvation, or demanding that others earn it?

Read John 21 and reflect – How do you see Jesus showing grace to Peter and the disciples?
