AMAZING Grace!

“The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands, day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.” Psalm 19:1-2

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:1-5

“’My project is the first scientific experiment in history to settle once and for all the question of God’s existence. As things presently stand, there may be sighs of His existence but they point both ways and are therefore ambiguous and so prove nothing. For example, the wonders of the universe do not convince those most conversant with the wonders, the scientists themselves. Whether or not this testifies to the stupidity of scientists or to God’s success at concealing Himself doesn’t matter.’ – Walker Percy, The Second Coming” *

“’And those passing by were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their heads, and saying, ‘You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, safe Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.’” In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him, and saying, ‘He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we shall believe in Him. He trusts in God; let Him deliver Him now, if He takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” Matthew 27:39-43

If EVER there was a time to reveal Himself, His crucifixion was a perfect moment. Yet, Jesus’ love of the Father and His love for us compelled Him to be obedient – only in this way could the relationship between you and the Father be restored. Amazing GRACE!
