Philippians 4:23 Receive and experience the amazing grace of the Master, Jesus Christ, deep, deep within yourselves.
Deep, deep within--how do you experience amazing grace any other way except deep, deep within? Grace isn't superficial, grace isn't transitory, grace is a part of the Christ follower. Why doesn't everyone want amazing grace? In most instances we get what we pay for, we get what we earn, we get what we deserve, but with Jesus we experience grace-unmerited favor. He forgives us and casts our sins as far as the east is from the west. The concept is so far beyond our understanding because we hold on to our grievances against other people as long as we can. We waste our thoughts and time on holding grudges against other people. We may eventually forgive them because we read the Bible and are reminded that we must forgive, but Jesus doesn't have to be reminded. He forgives.

Thanks for the reminder of the need for us to forgive. It is such a hard concept.
