Question: Have you ever asked these questions? What were the circumstances? Does today’s look at this topic leave you open to further exploration?

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?
