I was listening to a sermon by Steve Brown the other day. Steve usually challenges my assumptions in some very helpful ways and other times it seems like he takes grace too far. But then I wrestle with that. How much farther could God's grace be taken than for the Father to ask His own Son to become man, live a perfect but humiliating life, die a dreadful death even receiving the full rejection and wrath of His own Father for those who are by nature His enemies, then rise again and empower His disciples to make disciples of all nations through the work of the Holy Spirit. I don't suppose in my wildest dreams I could push God's grace any farther than He has gone to make a sinner like me His own. May He give us eyes to see how pitiful our desires are when only set upon earthly things and that He deepen our desire to know and depend on this grace-giving God intimately.
