unconquerable grace

One of the characteristics of God’s life changing amazing grace is the manner in which it takes up residence and will not depart from the center of despair, brokenness, and human tragedy.

God’s grace through Christ- resident in the battle against slavery.

God’s grace through Christ- resident in the battle against hunger.

God’s grace through Christ- resident in the battle of patients and families in hospital rooms every day.

God’s grace through Christ- so powerful that absolutely no power of this world is capable of defeating it and separating us from the love of God.

As Paul, a onetime persecutor of followers of Jesus writes, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

God’s grace through Christ- resident in all of life.
