JESUS, the Storyteller (28)

In Section Four, 

JESUS

the Storyteller

is telling us a Parable about

"The Grace Giver"

Clearly, JESUS is the Ultimate Grace Giver, but I believe He invites us to join Him,

not only by "embracing Grace" but also by showing/giving Grace like His to others.

Perhaps this week, looking at this "Grace Giver" we will learn more on this.

The Scriptures for this week:

Luke 15:11-32; Psalm 103:1-14; Psalm 78:32-39; Isaiah 57:14-16; Lam. 3:19-24

with the following subtitles/ chapter segments:

"A Modern Parable" "Two Groups" "The Father Loves Us When We Rebel Against Him" "The Father Accepts Us When We Return to Him" "The Father Pursues Us When We Reject Him" <> {my favorite line at the end again} "...No matter how far you've wandered, no matter how low you've sunk, know that upon your return, you will find the Father in front of an open door with open arms and a loving heart." (p.139) James Merritt

This is a "story" that many of us can relate to - and many of us have embraced gratefully.
We each have such a story - such a recollection and such a beautiful image of our
Heavenly Father
through
JESUS
our Grace Giver
we receive an abundance of grace freely
so that we can pour out to others

"Lord, make me an agent of Your grace by teaching me to stand with arms open wide to welcome *any child who has wandered." {text says *Your}
