It’s more than a woman’s name.
More than an idea & concept.
More than a movement by an acrobat or ice-skater.
It’s a revolution that was brought by a God who showed Grace towards His Children. He allowed His Only Son to pay for our price of Sin. He continues to shower us with Grace that we don’t deserve on any level, and asks for us to give grace to our fellow brothers and sisters on Earth. No matter who they are.
Grace – attaches you to your future. Got what you don’t deserve. Joins you to Life. Tells you He gets to line in Your House.
Both are rooted in Love.
Receive Mercy. Find Grace (our responsibility).
Below are the first thoughts I had when it came to each verse, and some have humor.

Rev. 22:21 — GRACE HAS THE FINAL AMEN
I know that people try to find a loophole and abuse God’s Grace. We somehow think that it’ll be okay if I mess up, because in the end I’ll simply confess and be forgiven….Then do it all over again living a life that’s self-fulfilling. This is stupid.
John 8:2-11. It’s the story of the Pharisees trying to “trap” Jesus by bringing Him a woman caught in the act of Adultery. Imagine Jesus in a Temple Court surrounded by many “high people”, and they bring in a naked woman found guilty. (But where’s the guy?) According to Levitical Law by Moses, she is to be Stoned To Death. (Imagine people throwing rocks at you until you die. Not Cool.)
Jesus took His time, wrote on the ground (only time I can remember it’s recorded where He wrote something), and said simply “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” One by one the people all left until it was just Jesus and the woman. Jesus asked her “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you.” Jesus declared “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Jesus made a serious point here! Other parts in scripture by Paul (Romans 6:1-4) that once you realize you’re not-condemned by the Almighty, you would be so radically changed that the idea of Sin is so…minute! Grace is so powerful, we can’t really begin to grasp the magnitude of it in our minds. It just doesn’t make Any sense.
So with all that, be Encouraged! Leave your life of Sin. His Grace is Sufficient! Share with others the Power of this concept, which is so Alien and against human instinct! Bring Kingdom! Break principalities and walls with the Grace God has Given us!
Boom! You Just Got Graced!
