People who were nothing like Jesus were drawn to Him. Why? One word: grace.
Time and again, Jesus extended His heart toward the guilty and the unrepentant. He introduced a radically unfair and profoundly unsettling system—one that He invites us to embrace. So, whether we’re in need of grace or called to extend it, how should we respond?
In this 3-part series, we delve into the undeserved, unearned, and unearnable favor Jesus offers to us all.
There is an unsettling solution for just about everything, and we can sum it up in one word—grace. It’s the undeserved, unearned, unearnable favor that Jesus came to offer us. So why wouldn’t we want Christianity to be true? And where should you start if grace was never part of the equation for you?
The kingdom of God is characterized by unsettling generosity—the kind of generosity that gives the undeserving what they don’t deserve and, regardless of how unright we’ve been, makes us right with God. So what do we do when we’re faced with this “math” that doesn’t add up? And how do we respond to this unfair, unsettling system that Jesus came to invite us into?
God’s grace to us is an invitation to be amazing. It’s our chance to extend to others what God has freely extended to us. But while most of us are full of something . . . it’s usually not grace. So what are you full of? And what would it take for you to give someone what they don’t expect? Or deserve?
