Grace Upon Grace at Christmastime

This is a guest post from my sister, Kelsey. Kelsey has her Master’s Degree in Social Work and mentors new social workers while coordinating case managers. She recently decided to go back to school to learn ASL so she can better assist her clients. In her free time, Kelsey likes to read, write, exercise outdoors, and study the Bible.

Grace upon grace.

The only way I can give grace upon grace is because it was given to me first. I don’t deserve grace, but because of God’s goodness, not my own, the Word became flesh–grace upon grace in human form. He died for my sins. He suffered much. I deserve nothing but death and suffering.

But grace!

The Word became flesh. In human form, grace upon grace was received. He shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The government will be on his shoulders, and of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.

Inspired by John 1:1-18 and Isaiah 9:6-7.
