DEVOTION

Amazing Grace

 

Grace is the undeserved favour of God, the free gift of his salvation. 

 

Max Lucado writes, 'I’ve never been surprised by God’s judgment, but I’m still stunned by his grace. David the psalmist becomes David the voyeur, but by God’s grace becomes David the psalmist again. Peter denied Christ before he preached Christ. Zacchaeus the crook: the cleanest part of his life was the money he’d laundered, but Jesus still had time for him. The thief on the cross: hell bent and hung-out-to die one minute, heaven-bound and smiling the next.

 

Story after story, surprise after surprise. Seems that God is looking more for ways to get us home than for ways to keep us out. I challenge you to find one soul who came to God seeking grace and did not find it. Search the pages, read the stories. Find one person who came seeking a second chance and left with a stern lecture. I dare you! You won’t find it.’ 

 

In our Vision Statement, we read that Living Waters ‘encourages all its students to go on a journey with God and experience his grace.’ It is our hope that students can journey with God and experience the same amazing grace that Zacchaeus, David, Peter and countless others received.
