The Story of Grace

tender love of Jesus, mercy of God, Christmas is about JesusThe story of the prodigal son isn’t about a rebellious son who returns home.

This is a story about the grace and tenderness and mercy of a father who would leave his home and run toward a son who rejected him.

His name is Jesus. God left His home to come to this earth in the form of a man for you.

He doesn’t give gifts to people who think they deserve it. God gives gifts to people who know they are not worthy of it.

God thought about you not at your best but at your worst.

May your soul feel chased down by the tender love and mercy of a father this Christmas. And may the overflow of your heart remain full of hope, generously sharing this great joy we have found in Jesus.
