You say Goodbye, I say Hello

Just a thought I had tonight: What does grace look like for the person in need of some goodness and lovingkindness (Titus 3:4)? Is it food, provided inexplicably out of nowhere and without end? A wine that never ends and tastes better than expected and is delivered free of charge, so you’re spared embarrassment at your wedding of being a poor host? Perhaps it is the question, ‘Do you want to be well,’ asked by the one longing to heal? Or maybe it is the willingness to not enter someone’s house but instead do them a favor from afar. Possibly this goodness is as uncomfortable. As uncomfortable as accepting an expensive gift delivered at a dinner party by an uninvited guest. Jesus is the grace of God on full display and if you want to know what the grace of God looks like, look no further than his actions in the Gospels.
