The law blesses the good, but God saves the bad. The interpretation of the law by the scribes and Pharisees was harsh. The religious leaders were proud, self-righteous, hard, cold, and hypocritical. Into this world Jesus came exhibiting a new interpretation. Jesus mixing with every class of society, healing the sick, blessing little children, raising the dead, full of grace and truth.
Grace is unmerited love.
It is love in action. This gift of grace is ours to live out in Christian service. In all of our joys and sorrows, our problems and decisions, we need the love of God. In the background of this beautiful earth, there is not only the power of God, but his love. The restful, pleasant green of the grass, trees and hedgerows, is followed by the wonderful variety of color in the flowers.
