GRACE HAS A FACE (October 24, 2025)

It’s natural to think of the story of our lives as a gradually rising line of progress.

We were once toddlers: now we stride—and even race—through professions and relationships. Our minds have grown acute: we’ve mastered subtlety and sarcasm, posturing and self-promotion. We’ve learned the fine art of “faking it until we make it.”

But the growling in the basement grows insistent. We sense—and if we read God’s Word, we know—that He’s not deceived by the polished spiritual résumé that a dozen self-help books have taught us to prepare. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” (Rom 3:23) the Bible says.

Our finest spiritual achievements are illusions we’ve chosen to believe, because “the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jer 17:9). Candor—full, undistracted clarity about our lives—reveals the widening gap between our best efforts and God’s expectations.

Enter a Saviour—“fully human in every way,” (Heb 2:17) but without sin. “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor 5:21). He carries both the weight and the memory of our brokenness so far away that we can finally discover the joyful life we’ve always wanted.

Grace promises welcome relief for all who trust in Jesus. There’s healing redemption in no other.

So stay in grace. -Bill Knott
