I find myself singing about God's grace very regularly...

Grace greater than all our sin...

Let's begin by reading this account from 2 Kings 4: "Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, 'Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.' And Elisha said to her, 'What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?' And she said, 'Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.' Then he said, 'Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.' So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, 'Bring me another vessel.' And he said to her, 'There is not another.' Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God, and he said, 'Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.'" (2 Kings 4:1-7 ESV)

The Old Testament is full of shadows, pictures and likenesses of Christ. When the Messiah did come, the only folks who didn't recognize Him for who He was / is are those who are refusing to look. 

I love this story from 2 Kings 4. Debt was nothing new, nor was taking children --or even adults-- as workers (slaves) to work and pay off the debt. That's what was happening here. God sends vessels of grace! 

Do you see a picture of Christ in this? Consider Romans 5:20: "God's law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God's wonderful grace became more abundant." (NLT)

No matter the debt, Christ has paid. 

No matter how many vessels are brought to Him, He can fill them. 

No matter what bondage the enemy brings, Christ can ransom any and all out by His finished work of grace. 

No matter how long this world lasts, as long as people are coming to Jesus, His grace will be enough. IT WILL NOT RUN OUT! "God's wonderful grace became more abundant!" More vessels? More grace! 

What shall we do? Like the woman did at Elisha's word, we take Jesus by faith. That woman didn't work for that oil. It came to her by grace. In the same way, we cannot work for salvation; it comes to us by grace. Paul said, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God," (Ephesians 2:8 ESV) We work in thankfulness because grace has come, but we cannot work to earn our salvation. 

Grace is enough and there is enough grace! 

The grace that has come to us through Jesus IS greater than all our sin!
