Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 23, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“God’s grace and his love are intertwined – joined at the hip. You can’t have one without the other. God is love. He doesn’t just have love – love is what God is.
God’s grace delivers and expresses his love. God’s grace, like his love, has no limits or boundaries. Grace defies logic and even offends our sense of fair play. The implications of grace are staggering – scandalous – outrageous.
Christ-less religion has erected its institutions, cathedrals, mosques, synagogues, temples and churches. Christ-less religion has its treasured icons of rituals, customs and ceremonies. But out of the ocean of God’s love, wave after wave of his grace relentlessly erodes the un-grace of religion. The never-ending waves of God’s grace will eventually cover the shifting sands of the kingdom of religion as the waters cover the sea.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a 20th century Christian martyr who was killed by the Nazis because of his faith in Christ said that ‘Jesus calls men, not to a new religion, but to life!’”
