THE MENU OF GRACE…Christianity offers so much that it takes a long time just to know what’s on the menu. Beyond that, it takes a life-time to learn how to actually embrace such large and deep favors as Christ gives. I like the verses that list the menu and how to grab it. Here’s one…
“Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy?
You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders
of the church to come and pray over you…and if you have committed any
sins, you will be forgiven.” ~James 5:13-15
What menu items do you see in this verse? How are these menu items embraced? The answers to these questions are important and worth meditating upon. We are so forever stuck in the world we can see, that we struggle to apprehend the world we can’t see. However, this unseeing world of Christ is all around us and in us and every bit as real as the see-able world. To engage Christ’s world, our spiritual curiosity must be present, our hearts must be bold and our faith must be exercised and strong and engaged. Such a person will know how to grab the menu of grace for themselves and others. The Lord’s table is open for one and all. He longs for us as His friends and family to eat long and large at His table. He then longs for us to walk out and offer it to others who don’t know it exists or where it is or how to eat of it. It’s the greatest secret in the universe…THE MENU OF GRACE! ~verlon
