Today we read an amazing story about amazing grace. A woman who had led a sinful life was ready to head in a different direction, so she found the Great Agent of Change. This account is a powerful reminder: Jesus did not turn sinners away…whatever their sin…neither should we.
Before Jesus, I served the god of ME. I lived in the throne room, sitting on my royal throne and calling out with my royal voice. But it was all a façade. The god of ME was a pitiful and powerless god. One day, though, everything changed.
