Sometimes we are outright rude when we interact with people. We meet a gay guy or a couple living together, and we think we have the obligation and right to warn them what God thinks about their sexuality on our first meeting. As if their sex life is the first thing on God's agenda.It's not.Love is. Grace is. Mercy is. Jesus is.

Jesus sees our sin more clearly than anyone, yet He loves us more than anyone.

God transforms us one area at a time.

Sometimes our brains are our own worst enemy because grace isn't logical.

That’s how we often react when grace comes at us. It’s awkward. God offers us something that’s too good to be true—unearned, unmerited, total forgiveness—and we stand there, stiff and uncomfortable, waiting for the embrace to stop so we can get back to the business of earning our way into heaven. We need to embrace grace. We need to learn how to hug back.

Notorious sinners didn’t kill Jesus. Religious people did.

It seemed too good to be true. That's grace.
