What Grace Looks Like

What does grace really look like in the world we live in?

In this powerful reflection on Luke 6:27–36, Rev. Max Brennan invites us to take Jesus at His word—especially the hard ones: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” That’s not just a teaching; it’s a transformation.

Through one moving story and one deep truth, Max reminds us that Jesus didn’t just speak of love—He showed us what it looks like when grace reaches across boundaries, beyond merit, and into the very heart of our brokenness.

“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” – Luke 6:36

Grace isn’t soft. It’s bold. It forgives without conditions, gives without keeping score, and loves without needing to be loved back. This is the grace that changes lives—starting with ours.

✨ Take time this week to reflect: Where is Jesus calling you to give grace, even when it’s hard?

We are a faith community with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors—guided by Christ, in whom we live, move, and have our being.
