An uplifting and powerful thought that Sharon and I shared together this morning during our devotions…
“GOD’S GRACE IS A BIG BUCKET! EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN IT! (AND ITS RESULT? PEACE!!)
The Scripture that prompted that thought? A common apostolic greeting in the epistles… “Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!” (2 Thessalonians 1:2 and others)
And a “hymn” to reinforce the truth… “Wonderful Grace of Jesus!”
“Wonderful Grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free;
O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus reaches me!
“Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaching to all the lost;
By it I have been pardoned, saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder, giving me liberty;
O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaches me!
“Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaching the most defiled;
By its transforming power,
Making me God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and Heaven, for all eternity;
And the Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaches me!
Refrain
“Wonderful the matchless Grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient Grace for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious name of Jesus,
PRAISE HIS NAME!”
