GRACE OVER STONES

REFLECTION:

In the final reflection of this series, it is important to remember that Jesus came to save, not to condemn. According to the Bible, Jesus did not come to judge the world, but to save it. He was given authority to judge, but chose not to at that time. His mission was to provide a way out of judgment and to save the world. Jesus’ purpose was to save, not to condemn. Those who believe in Him will not be judged, but will have eternal life. However, those who do not believe in Him are already condemned.

Jesus calls us to extend grace over stones, beginning with ourselves. This means that we should be kind and compassionate towards ourselves and others. We should not be quick to judge or condemn others for their mistakes or shortcomings. Instead, we should try to understand their perspective and offer them grace and forgiveness. By doing so, we can create a more loving and compassionate world.

Reflecting on how you can align your actions with His mission of salvation and grace for your own life is an important step in your spiritual journey. You can start by examining your thoughts and actions and identifying areas where you can improve. You can also pray for guidance and ask God to help you become more like Jesus. By doing so, you can become a better person and make a positive impact on the world around you.

Finally, it is important to understand that God’s desire is for you to experience His grace, not judgment. God loves you unconditionally and wants you to experience His love and forgiveness. No matter what you have done in the past, you can always turn to God and ask for forgiveness. He will always be there for you and will never abandon you.
