Grace to You

Scripture: Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Observation: Here we see young Jesus, and one of the few descriptions of his childhood. Luke says that he grew strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. We know what Jesus did, his works, his ministry, how is it that the Grace of God is what enabled him? And is that the same Grace of God that is ours in Christ Jesus?

Application: Ephesians 4:7 says "unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of Christ". Is the same grace that empowered a young Jesus into his ministry the same grace that is given unto us as his followers?

Prayer: Thank you Jesus for your grace, that you gave to us. Let us walk in the grace that you gave us each day. Let your ministry be our ministry. Let our hands be as your hands. Let our hearts be as your heart. Fill us anew this day with your grace. Let the peace of God, and his grace be upon us this day. Amen
