Today's post will be a bit different. It simply contains quotes from my good friend, Philip Yancey.
Breathe the thoughts in. I believe they will enrich your heart.
The problem of pain meets its match in the scandal of grace.
Grace is not about finishing first or last; it is about not counting.
Grace cannot be reduced to generally accepting accounting principles. In the bottom-line realm of ungrace, some workers deserve more than others; in the realm of grace the word "deserve" does not even apply.
People are prepared for everything except for the fact that beyond the darkness of their blindness there is a great light (Frederick Buechner).
Grace baffles us because it goes against the intuition that everyone has that, in the face of injustice, some price must be paid....God gave up His own Son rather than give up on humanity.
In Christian theology, Jesus reversed the ancient pattern: when the servants erred, the King was punished. Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.
