1, 2019 – “Think of the
grace needed to save, sanctify and seal one sinner; then multiply that by the
many millions who have trusted Christ down through the ages and you will have
some notion of the abundance of the Grace of God. Paul said, “Where sin did
abound, grace did much more abound.” Little wonder that John Newton could sing,
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me…” Those who
are saved by His grace find satisfaction in His grace.” Vance Havner
My prayer for you today is for a greater
appreciation of God’s amazing, awesome grace!
Romans
1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. KJV
“A certain pastor observed a little
girl standing outside the preschool Sunday school classroom between Sunday
school and worship, waiting for her parents to come and pick her up for
"big church." The pastor noticed that she clutched a big storybook
under her arm with the title "Jonah and the Whale." Feeling
mischievous, he knelt beside the girl and asked, "What’s that you have in
your hand?" "This is my storybook about Jonah and the whale,"
she answered." Tell me something," he continued, "do you believe
that story about Jonah and the whale?" The girl said, "Why, of course
I believe it!" The pastor inquired further, "You really believe a man
can be swallowed up by a big whale, stay inside him all that time, and come out
okay?" She declared, "Yes! This story is in the Bible, and we talked
about it in Sunday school today." Then the pastor asked, "Can you
prove to me this story is true?" She thought for a moment and then said,
"Well, when I get to heaven, I’ll ask Jonah." Finally the pastor
asked, "What if Jonah’s not in heaven?" The girl put her hands on her
hips and sternly declared, "Then YOU can ask him!"
