Grace is irrational, unfair, unjust, and only makes sense if I believe in another world governed by a merciful God who always offers another chance.
Think of the Samaritan women in John with the five failed marriages, the dishonest tax collector, the adulteress, the prostitute, Peter who denied Jesus three times – all of these received from Jesus not the judgment they expected, but forgiveness and reinstatement.
Grace is shocking and even scandalous. It is much more than
just a nice idea or a pretty word, it is revolutionary. Grace will
transform lives, restore marriages, unify the church, and truly change the
world.
And how!
