Grace That Empowers

Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church

April 19th Sermon, Day 4

The standard Jesus sets is admittedly high - too high for any of us to meet on our own. But here's the beautiful difference: Moses could tell people what to do, but Jesus gives us the power to become new. Moses gave the test, but Jesus helps us pass the test and even took our place when we failed.

This is grace in action. Jesus didn't just raise the bar and leave us straining to reach it; He provided everything we need to live the life He calls us to. When we fail, He doesn't condemn us - He covers us. When we're weak, He strengthens us. When we're confused, He guides us. The relationship Jesus offers isn't based on our performance but on His perfect sacrifice. This means we can approach His high standards not with fear and anxiety, but with confidence and hope, knowing that His grace is sufficient for every challenge we face.

Bible Verse

'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' - Matthew 11:28

Reflection Question

How can you rely more on Jesus' grace and power rather than your own strength to live out His teachings?

Quote

Moses gave the test, but Jesus helps you and me to pass the test. And he even took our place when we failed. And that's called grace.

Prayer

Jesus, thank You for not just showing me the way but empowering me to walk in it. I trust in Your grace to transform me from the inside out.
