“Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. It’s not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for the broken which means I don’t have to hide my failure, I don’t have to hide my sin because it doesn’t depend on me it depends on Him. See because when I was God’s enemy and certainly not a fan, He looked down and said I want, that, man. Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man. Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own, not based on my merits but Jesus’ obedience alone. Because he took the crown of thorns, and the blood dripped down his face, He took what we all deserved, I guess that’s why you call it grace. And while being murdered, he yelled, “Father forgive them they know not what they do.” Because when he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you.”
