Conclusion

Some years ago, a prominent judge in London celebrated Communion at the Anglican church of which he was a member. As he went forward to the Communion rail, he joined an ex-convict in receiving the bread and wine. After the service, he remarked to the priest, "Isn’t the grace of God amazing?"

A few moments later, the priest replied, "You mean that a convicted criminal could join you in celebrating Communion?"

The judge answered, "No. I was thinking how amazing that by his grace, in spite of all the privileges of rank and means and their temptation to pride and self-sufficiency, I could join him in the place of knowing my desperate need for the grace of God."

Everyone needs the grace of God in Jesus Christ. God’s fatherly love and grace are good beyond our comprehension. They are yours for the asking in Jesus Christ. Receive him with simple faith and repentance.
