Simply
Incredible
The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. - 2 Thessalonians 3:18.
Jessica
Parks received her high school diploma from a high school in Oakland County,
Michigan. She had very good grades, received a varsity letter in cheerleading,
and accomplished much more during her years of high school. Those are
achievements that are typical of many young high achievers. However, the
incredible thing about Jessica, is that she was born without arms. She does it
all with her legs and toes; including, driving her car. She drives with one
foot on the gas, and one on the steering wheel. She also puts her contact
lenses into her eyes with her toes. Jessica Parks is incredible!!
Do you
know what else is incredible? The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is incredible!!
I like the way the Message translates 2 Thessalonians 3:18, “The INCREDIBLE grace of our Master, Jesus Christ,
be with all of you!” 1 John 3:1 in the Amplified version gives us
another usage of incredible: “See what an
INCREDIBLE quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that
we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of
God! And so we are!” When we realize that
God has spoken to us, and we are in His presence, this too is incredible, “Jacob woke up from his sleep. He said, ‘GOD is in this place - truly. And
I didn't even know it!’” He was
terrified. He whispered in awe, “INCREDIBLE.
Wonderful. Holy. This is God's House. This is the Gate of Heaven (Genesis
28:16-17).”
God’s
grace, love, and presence are incredible!! But then, everything about
God is incredible!! To be God, is to be able to be incredible!!
In Acts 26, the
apostle Paul asks King Agrippa and others present, “Why is it thought INCREDIBLE by any of you that God raises the dead (Acts
26:8)?” If God is God, would not He be able to
raise the dead, and bring about any other miracle the human mind is able to
conceive? Of course! But what is even more incredible is that God
is “Holy (Revelation 4:8)”, “good (2 Thessalonians 1:11)”, “righteous (Revelation 16:5)”, and still even though we have “sinned”
(Romans 3:23; Romans 5:8) He
still “cares” for
us (1 Peter 5:7)!
Our God
is simply incredible!! Let us give Him all honor, glory, and
praise.
