Theater of Grace

It (the church) is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to reveal His power to transform hearts. ~ AA 12

Christians a living spectacle...a walking stage to the world.

What is the drama that is unfolding?

Our Father’s unfathomable, matchless grace...

grace that transforms shattered fragments into stunning mosaics

...and delights in it...

But why would He place such a trust into the hands of such unworthy vessels?

Because my friends, He loves to shine through broken pieces...

Will you let Him showcase His grace through you?

The church is the theater of His grace, in which He delights to make experiments of mercy on human hearts. ~ OHC 172

The church is the theater of His grace. And we are His temple. That means we are His theaters of grace…

It's interesting… Dad read that quote the very morning you posted. It made me think of our conversation about this months ago… :) It still is just as powerful.
