Christ is full of limitless grace, yet he doesn't keep it to himself. Just as a reservoir supplies water through pipes, Christ pours out his grace to us. We have received his fullness: grace upon grace. He exists to share his grace with us, like a fountain always ready to fill our empty cups and thirsty souls.
Like a tree bearing sweet fruit for those who are hungry, Christ offers grace freely. Whether it's to forgive, cleanse, preserve, strengthen, enlighten, revive, or restore, his grace is ours at no cost. No part of his grace is withheld from his people. Just as blood flows from the heart to every part of the body, grace belongs to every believer connected to him.
This shared grace creates a wonderful unity between Christ and his Church. Christ receives the oil of grace, and it flows down to even the humblest believer, giving the same rich blessing. True communion happens when grace flows from Christ to us and when we see that he is sustained by the same source that nourishes us. As we daily receive grace from Jesus, recognizing it comes from him, we experience joyful communion with him. Let’s continually draw from our rich reserves and approach him boldly, knowing he supplies all our needs as readily as we draw money from our own pocket.
Closing Prayer
Lord, as this day begins, root our hope firmly in Your promises. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
