THE GRACIOUS GOD
God’s glory is revealed in His graciousness (Exodus 34:6). The Hebrew word “gracious” means “to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior, to favor, to bestow.”
The graciousness of our God is amazing and beautiful because He stooped and bent down so far to save us. In fact, He humbled Himself and stooped all the way down from the heights of heaven to the old rugged cross in order to save us from our sins and lift us up into heavenly places with Him.
When Jesus spake, the people all “wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth” (Luke 4:22).
They hymn writer says:
O the love that drew salvation’s plan,
O the grace that brought it down to man,
O the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary.
Men, we ought to be the most gracious men that walk on planet earth because His grace lives in us by His Spirit. Does your wife, your family, and your friends know you as a gracious man?
Be encouraged.
