If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God.The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him.Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to?Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus?Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

Fromafraid to die to ready to fly. Grace isthe voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. Let’s makecertain grace gets you.
