For The Undeserving.
"But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'"
(Mark 16:7)
Grace, is the unearned, undeserved and unmerited favor of God.
In short, for people who do not deserve it.
And it's something we've all been struggling to understand.
Jesus once said, that whoever denies Him before men,
He'd deny him before His Father.
And that was exactly what Peter did.
Three times.
The same mouth that claimed to be ready to die with Jesus,
denied even knowing Jesus three times when asked.
But what did Grace do?
When Jesus rose from the dead,
He had His angels single out Peter,
when they asked Mary to tell the rest that He was alive.
Jesus singled our Peter, and called him by his name,
to show what His grace did,
to make the unforgivable, forgivable.
Beloved, that's how Jesus would want you to live life.
Knowing that He has forgiven you of all your unforgivable,
and called you by name.
And This Message, Glorifies Jesus.
