The Grace Of God

2. Because Jesus became a man, He knows what we go through and the emotions that accompany the situations.

(b) Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

C. His humility allows Him to take people from the trash heaps of life and raise them up to make them victors.

D. His humility allows Him to take barren women and make them into mothers.

1. The greatest change in our lives is that He saved us out of the trash heap of sin.

(a) Psalm 14:1-3

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

(b) Isaiah 64:6

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

(c) Romans 1:16-17

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

The there was once a girl who was a lazy and would not spin. Her mother could not persuade her to do it, no matter how hard she tried. Finally the mother became so angry that she gave her daughter a godd beating. While the mother was beating the girl, the queen happened to pass by and heard the girl crying. The queen stopped, entered the house, and asked the mother why she was beating her child.

The woman was ashamed to tell of her daughter’s laziness, so she said, “I am trying to stop her from spinning. That’s all she wants to do. Day and night, she keeps on spinning, but I am poor and cannot supply her with enough flax.”

The queen answered, “I like nothing better that the sound of the spinning wheel, and I always feel happy when I hear its humming. Let me take your daughter with me to the castle. I have plenty of flax, and she shall spin there to her heart’s content.”

The mother was only too glad to get rid of her daughter, so she agreed to let the queen take the girl with her. When they reached the castle, the queen showed her three rooms completely filled with the finest flax in the land.

“Now you can spin all of this flax,” said the queen “and if you are able to spin it all to my satisfaction, I will make you the wife of my eldest son. You will become the princess. But if you fail, you will be banished from the realm forever.”
