A Violent Grace
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.Ephesians 1:7-8
Today I read an explanation of the term 'a violent grace' which I thought spoke so clearly and beautifully of how as Christains we can come to see something as horrible as blood shed with such a glorious light!
"Yes, bloodshed is the epitome of violence. But for you and me, blood is also the costly guarantee of a most extravagant gift of grace."
Michael card continues with such a wonderfully ironic statement so true to the Christain faith, to the beauty of forgiveness...
"if you have let His blood stain you, you will be as white as snow."
