"Grace to you and peace from God our Father," 1 Corinthians 1:3.
Grace. Unmerited favor. Generosity. Much more good received than what was deserved. Than what could be deserved. A gift. An expensive gift. A priceless gift. A gift given away. Given away freely. Given away at no cost to the receiver. A gift given at unimaginable cost to the giver. A gift that tells about the giver, not the receiver. Grace. Tells about the heart of the giver. Tells about the character of God. Received by faith in the work of God's son. Received from the Lord Jesus Christ. The gift: God's presence, protection, power. Eternal relationship.
When we meet a brother or sister today we give thanks for God's grace given to us by Christ. And for peace with him, from him.
