Unconditional Love of Christ
‘The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit,
brothers and sisters. Amen.’
(Galatians 6:18)
‘Grace’ is a wonderful word. It means God’s love, but not just his love.
It is his love towards the ungodly, towards the sinner, towards the unlovely.
Until we see that this is who we are, we cannot understand the grace of the Lord Jesus.
John Newton’s famous hymn captures it, ‘Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.’
The Prayer Book of 1662 gives us the words to say as those who do not deserve the love of God, his grace:
‘We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table’.
It is only when we understand grace that we begin to love fully the Lord who loves us unworthy as we are.
Question for thought: Do I truly see myself for who I am?
Lord of all nations, we pray for the Dioceses of Kerala in North India
and Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. Members are affiliated through the Women’s fellowship
for Christian service. We ask as they reach out to vulnerable women through vocational training,
health awareness and marriage preparation, that they will have opportunity to share your love.
We also pray for the Diocese of Ballarat and for Jillian Gale as President.
We ask that all their activities will show your love and mercy. Amen.
