69 Luke 23:32-43 (Today!)

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul27.pdf * Last week we considered five different Portraits of Grace as Jesus was being handed over by the authorities to be crucified. * Today, we see the grace of God and love of Christ glowing brilliantly as He is hanging on the cross in the midst of a spiritual storm of disdain and hatred. Truly, the darker the night - the brighter the light! * Paul encouraged the Philippians to "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life ..." (Phil 2:14-16). Jesus presented the perfect model for this as He demonstrated the wonderful forgiveness that God offers each individual through His grace. Yet, as we shall see, in the end this grace is ultimately only fully efficacious to those who believe! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on July 27, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
