No one likes to have their time wasted. Unfortunately, that's often what happen when it comes to the Christian faith. The things that get all the attention are nothing but distractions from what matters most. Thankfully, Jesus and his Word are always helping us navigate the noise to get to the heart of the good news. This week we see that the heart of God is his attitude of grace toward us. God’s grace means that he does not wait for us to find him. Rather, he sent his Son to seek and to save us. A God who seeks out the very sinners who rebel against him is one we would never imagine on our own. However, rather than our self invented attempts to make our way back to God, God reminds us that we are saved by grace alone.
