Spotlight grace

Here is a picture of grace posted by bible.org.

“When a person works an eight-hour day and receives a fair day’s pay for his time, that is a wage. When a person competes with an opponent and receives a trophy for his performance, that is a prize. When a person receives appropriate recognition for his long service or high achievements, that is an award. But when a person is not capable of earning a wage, can win no prize, and deserves no award—yet receives such a gift anyway—that is a good picture of God’s unmerited favor. This is what we mean when we talk about the grace of God.” Clip-Art Features for Church Newsletters, G.W. Knight, p. 53.

I didn’t deserve to be born in the great state of Texas, but I was. I didn’t deserve to be born to loving parents, but I was. I didn’t deserve to find a caring, faithful wife, but I did. I didn’t deserve to have two wonderful, healthy children, but I do. I didn’t deserve to have a healthy body, but I do. I see God’s grace everywhere I look. Similarly, it’s illustrated on almost every page of the Bible. Note God’s favor to pick Israel, or His selection of Zacchaeus. Have the class name examples of God’s grace demonstrated in their lives. Shine the light on God’s grace in this lesson!
