The Urgency of Grace

May 14, 20231 Peter 3:13-22The busyness of life that we are so attracted to is one of the ways that we bury our heads in the sand or attempt to at the very least so that we don’t have to come face-to-face with the suffering of the world, or the fact that there are those whose identity is not honored by the church.But because Christ has died, because Christ has risen, and because Christ promises to come again, we are free from our sins, and from the busyness that we use as a distraction.Or, as Paul puts it, “For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly… God proves God’s love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Or, as 1 Peter put it, “For Christ also suffered sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God.” Get full access to Brewing Theology with Teer Hardy at teerhardy.substack.com/subscribe
