Perfect Grace
February 22, 2017
Neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared.
John 8:11
Jesuss teaching about absolute ideals and absolute grace seem contradictory.
Jesus never lowered Gods perfect ideal. In His response to the rich young ruler, He said, Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matt. 5:48). He told an expert in the law who inquired as to the greatest commandment, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (22:37). No one has completely fulfilled those commands.
Yet the same Jesus tenderly offered absolute grace. He forgave an adulteress, a thief on the cross, a disciple who had denied ever knowing Him, and a man named Saul, who had made his mark persecuting Christians. Grace is absolute and all-encompassing, extending even to those who nailed Jesus to the cross: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing were among the last words He spoke on earth (Luke 23:34).
For years I felt so unworthy when considering Jesuss absolute ideals that I missed any notion of His grace. Once I understood this dual message, however, I went back and found that the message of grace gusts through Jesuss life and teachings.
Grace is for the desperate, the needy, the broken, those who cannot make it on their own. Grace is for all of us.
Father, Your all-encompassing grace washes over us and astonishes us. May we live today as people who enjoy Your complete forgiveness and a restored relationship with You.
Jesus fulfilled the perfect requirements of the law so that we may enjoy the perfect peace of His grace.
The life of the apostle Paul is another example of God's grace. Because of Paul's past, he considered himself the most undeserving recipient of Gods mercy and grace (1 Tim. 1:1314). Although he was chosen to be an apostle to the Gentiles, Paul also gave another reason he was chosen: God had mercy on me so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of his great patience with even the worst sinners. Then others will realize that they, too, can believe in him and receive eternal life (v. 16 nlt). God had you and me in mind when He saved Paulan awesome thought. If Paul, the worst of sinners, could be saved, then there is hope for everyone else. No one is beyond the reach of Gods mercy and grace.

Grrr! I only got 7 out of 10. That was hard! I mean, I KNOW this stuff! Who do I lodge a complaint with? It MUST be the way the questions were asked, LOL!
God Bless our BRAVE ancestors. Without them, where would we be, today? ;)

I scored 10/10 on quiz: 'Back to Basics'
How well can you do? -- This quiz goes back to colonial times - i.e. when the U.S. was at its most basic.
I can't feel too proud. It was just basic. :)

That’s not bad at all! Can you imagine if we’d never gotten to come here! Someone needs to write a book about that!
We’d be poor and dumb like the rest of Europe...or whatever continent we came from.

I’d most likely have never been born as my, ‘Family of Origin’ are German Jews...but luckily they were either the SMART or the FAST ones! :)
