That’s grace! “This man welcomes sinners” (Luke 15:2). That’s grace! ‘”People will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy” (Matthew 12:31 NRSV). That’s grace! “Whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (John 6:37 NIV). That’s grace! Love is grace. Mercy is grace. Forgiveness is too. Joy is grace. All gifts are grace!
