James 2:1-13
The reality of grace is that it shows no favouritism - to show favouritism is to remove the essence of grace. If the love of God's mob for God is to be manifested in 'love your neighbour', then such love is gracious, and shows no favourites.
This grace is expressed in language, in attitude, in action, in thought, and in desire. It looks at people as image-bearers of God, and no more - and no less.
But, please don't mistake grace for something vanilla or toothless - grace shows no favouritism, but grace does transform. This is captured in James 2:1: the glory and lordship that we hankered after, and aimed to accumulate, is now rightly recognised as belonging to Jesus Christ. Here is the essence of the transformation brought by grace: it moves the significance and lordship of life to where it rightly belongs - Jesus!
Prayer:
Father, thank you for your grace - I do not deserve it. Please transform by grace to be more gracious, through Jesus. Amen.
