Grace Exalts Jesus

Brokenness in trials reveals this exquisite treasure of grace. We are at the threshold of revelation in brokenness. The sensitivity to the holy spirit excersises us in the fear of the Lord. Christ shines through these jars of clay and heaven touches earth. We must renounce any vain glory, in doing so we avoid usurping the authority and power of God. We begin to see the impact of grace as we fellowship with it personally. We receive it first for ourselves. Grace teaches us to love ourselves, forgive ourselves and rightly relate to our selves in Christ. Without this first communion it will all be manufactured. Feelings can be a powerful measuring line but it can exalt the wrong things. Our emotions just respond without a full thought of divine truth but Grace proclaims that failure is not final and that the most unworthy sinner is is precious in His sight!Grace exalts Christ in us, magnifies his perfect work in us. We struggle with the fact of what grace declares – he declares our completeness. We may sometimes waffle knowing that our experience may not add up to the truth of permanent grace. But it is true! God sees only Christ and he is pleased with his Son.
