Explores the profound mystery of God's grace, its transformative power, and the challenge of living it out in our daily lives.
Good morning, beloved family of God. It's a beautiful day to gather together, to lift our hearts in praise, to seek His wisdom, and to immerse ourselves in the radiant light of His Word. We are here, not by chance, but by divine appointment. God has a message for each one of us today. A message that is as timeless as the dawn of creation, yet as fresh and relevant as the morning news.
Today, we are turning our hearts and minds to the profound mystery and miracle of God's grace. Grace, that unmerited favor, that divine enablement, that heavenly gift which is freely given, yet priceless beyond measure.
In the book of John, we read about the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. This is a profound truth that we often take for granted. The Word, the eternal God, took on human form, lived among us, and revealed His glory. This is the miracle of the incarnation. The divine became human, the infinite became finite, and the eternal stepped into time. This is a mystery that we can never fully comprehend, but it is a truth that we must embrace.
More than God becoming man: It's about God revealing His grace to us. The Word became flesh, full of grace and truth. Grace, that divine favor, that heavenly gift, was not just spoken to us, but was lived out among us in the person of Jesus Christ. This is the first aspect of the grace gifted through the incarnation. God's grace was not just a message, but a person. It was not just a teaching, but a life. It was not just a doctrine, but a reality.
Its fullness: From His fullness, we have all received, grace upon grace. This is not a limited grace, but an abundant grace. It's not a grace that runs out, but a grace that overflows. It's not a grace that is rationed, but a grace that is lavished. This fullness of grace is not just a promise, but a provision. It's not just a potential, but a reality. It's not just a hope, but a certainty.
Its contrast to the law: The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. The law demands, but grace supplies. The law condemns, but grace forgives. The law reveals our sin, but grace reveals our Savior. This contrast of grace and law is not just a theological distinction, but a practical difference. It's not just a doctrinal debate, but a life-changing discovery.
Its revelation of God: No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. Grace reveals God to us. It shows us His love, His mercy, His kindness, and His goodness. It's not just a revelation of His attributes, but a revelation of His heart. It's not just a knowledge about God, but a relationship with God.
As we continue to reflect on the grace that was gifted through the incarnation, we find ourselves in the midst of our daily routines, our tasks, our responsibilities ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
