The Race Of Grace

When Mark 5:6 and Luke 15:20 are taken together, they spark off a celebration that reaches across earth and up to heaven. They draw attention to the kind of joy evident in the words of the hymn:

Ring the bells of heaven! there is joy today
For a soul returning from the wild;
See! the Father meets him out upon the way,
Welcoming His weary, wandering child.

Glory! glory! how the angels sing!
Glory! glory! how the loud harps ring!
‘Tis the ransomed army, like a mighty sea,
Pealing forth the anthem of the free!

When a sinner is running to Christ - and the Father is running to the sinner - there shall be a happy meeting before very long, and there shall be joy in heaven and joy on earth as well.

Be encouraged as you reflect upon 'The Race Of Grace'!
