Run Over by the Grace TrainNäide

DAY 9: Grace Again and Again and Again

God’s grace is inexhaustible. It never dries up. It never takes a day off. There is no quit in it. When you have been hit by the grace train, you have been knocked out dead and resurrected. The old you is gone, and the new you is now in Christ. You are swallowed up in grace, and you can’t do anything to change that. You can’t run too far away or break things apart too badly to lose a seat on the grace train.

Peter was one of Jesus’s closest friends and disciples, and he was a total screw-up. He reprimanded Jesus, made things all about himself, and then denied that he even knew Jesus. And what does Jesus do? He sits with him in the depths of his despair and offers him grace.

Peter didn’t know what he was going to do with his life after Jesus was laid in the tomb. He was scared and confused, but Jesus didn’t let grace stay dead. He resurrected from the grave and extended grace to Peter and to you. He gave Peter a purpose and mission for his life, and He has one for you too. Let Him restore you with His grace again, and again, and again.
