THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST II

"Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace." - Jerry Bridges

Grace

Jack Wellman said remarkably at the conclusion of a sermon, "Preach grace as often as you can, as much as you can, for as much of the glory of God as you can because that’s what grace is. It is unmerited favour at Christ’s expense. It’s what He gives us that we do not deserve, nor can ever deserve, or can ever earn. That’s why grace is so amazing."

The story was once told of Henry Moorhouse. He made several trips to America to preach in the late 1800s. On one of these occasions, he was taking a walk through a poor section of the city when he noticed a small boy coming out of a store with a pitcher of milk. Just then, the boy slipped and fell, breaking the pitcher and spilling the milk all over the sidewalk. Moorhouse rushed to the youngster’s side and found him unhurt but terrified.

"My mamma’ll whip me!" he cried.

The preacher suggested that they try to put the pitcher back together, but the pieces of glass would not stay together. The boy kept crying. Finally Moorhouse picked up the youngster and carried him to a nearby store where the preacher purchased a new pitcher. Then he returned to the dairy store and had the pitcher washed and filled with milk. With that done, he carried both the boy and the pitcher home. Putting the youngster down on his front porch, Moorhouse handed him the pitcher and asked:

"Now will your mama whip you?" A wide smile spread upon his tear-stained face...
"Aw, no sir, cause it’s lot better pitcher than we had before."

How bad can your situation be? In the chorus of that classic hymn, "Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord," Julia Johnson hit the nail on the head.
"GRACE, GRACE;
GOD’S GRACE;
GRACE THAT WILL PARDON AND CLEANSE WITHIN;
MARVELOUS GRACE;
INFINITE GRACE;
GRACE THAT IS GREATER THAN ALL OUR SINS."

The grace of our Lord Jesus, goes far beyond that struggle or challenge, and He will come through for you. All you need do to access this grace is to come to Him in repentance.
