Mural IV: How? Grace


How:  Grace- Mural IV

The question is:  HOW?  How do we explain God’s unconditional, perfect love for us?

Answer:   GRACE:  God sends us Jesus.  It is when Jesus is sent to us that we begin to comprehend the breadth and depth of such a great love as that of the Father sacrificing His son to be one with us and live our pain and suffering.  It is this unconditional love that saves us in spite of our sinfulness.  In this act, God gives us another opportunity to receive the Word, this time in the Flesh.  The only expression for such a love- such an act is grace.  It is HOW we explain this amazing love God has for us.

The puzzle design is symbolic of the enigmatic relationship between God and Human.  Grace is a puzzle of sorts for many of us.  We want to, but cannot fully comprehend the scope of His love or why for that matter, God forgives us.  We are too flawed.   We feel doubt and confusion because we could never know such a perfect love, but through Him.

Follow the arrows:  GOD('s) GRACE is the act of sending Jesus to us. JESUS SAVES US.   We return to God (we are redeemed) because Jesus came to us and saves us.  Grace is the ultimate expression of what it means to give- to love.  It looks so simple once you receive the "clues" and put the answers together, doesn’t it?

**  the blank squares will be something… don’t know exactly what just yet.  It will be revealed to us.  Whatever, they will not be a distraction from the Words .  Interesting to note that the design is somewhat vexing, like most puzzles. (:
