Grace

This one verse, John 3:16, is treated like an evangelism tool. The whole experience is of a verse taken completely out of context.
-
At the heart of the Christmas season is God’s generosity. And our struggle to restrain it works against the very point of the holy day.
-
In the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, Jesus offers us a chance to look at our relationships completely differently: with generosity.

The problem with mercy is we don’t trust others with it. Which means, whether we like it or not, that we also don’t trust God with it.
-
This week, we wrestle with the nature of forgiveness and mercy. We do so knowing we might not want to offer it. But we can so choose to.
-
It takes a leap, not certainty. A risk. Being wrong. Being changed. Growing. This is the character of our entire faith.
