The Gift of Grace for Our Brokenness

Takeaway: Responding to God’s gift of love:

  1. Desensitized to God’s love: The religious leaders of Jesus’ day were so impressed with their devotion to God that they rejected the very Savior provided by God. Is that you?

  2. Letting God love us: God’s acceptance of moral failures should convince us that He wants to extend the same grace and love to us and include us in Jesus’ family tree as His spiritual descendants!
