Grace Extended

Grace Extended
John 1:16-17
16-From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. (To the blessing that came through Moses has been added the greater blessing that has come through Jesus.)
17-For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Reference
Hebrews 1:1-4
1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
3 The son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

Story:
2 Kings 6:24-7:10
6:24- Famine in Besieged Samaria
7:3- The Siege Lifted

Acts 20:24- however, I consider m life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.
Reference
2 Timothy 4:7- I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have keep the faith. (Paul looks back over 30 years of labor as an apostle. Like an athlete who had engaged successfully in a contest, he had finished the race and kept the faith, had carefully preserved the deposit of Christian truth.

Grace received needs to become grace extended.
Practical questions:
1. Do you mind to spend your time with people to extend the grace to them?
2. Who do you take out for a meal?
3. Who do you spend your free time with?
4. Who do you give your gifts to?
5. Who do you pray for?
6. Will you consider making a change in your life to include people whom you left behind?
7. Whom will you invite to the church?
