I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus… 1Co1.4 NKJV
There are many graces given to us by God. He helps us see what is true. He encourages us to walk in it. He helps us trust Him and patiently forgives our repeated failures.
Just as we get water by means of a faucet, a cold drink by means of a refrigerator, warmth by means of a heater, we get grace by the means of Christ. All the grace that comes to us from God comes to us by Jesus Christ. Jesus is the hose God uses to water His garden. He is the door into the banquet hall. Christ is cloud which drops the rain of the Father’s goodness. All of the blessings of God come to us by Him. Thank God for grace, thank God for Christ. 11/21/07 ts
