In studying Titus 3, I was reminded of the famous portrait of Jesus, painted by Akiane Kramarik when she was eight years old. GRACE HAS A FACE and HIS NAME IS JESUS! He is the Star of the show, The Masterpiece, The Master Teacher, The Master of everything.
You wouldn't put a Da Vinci or Picasso in a cheap frame, with dim lighting, and hang it crooked on a wall. Anyone in the performing arts, photography, film industries knows very well that bad lighting and sound can distort, and ruin the beauty of the object or person on display. Wow, how we have ALL discovered this in the age of COVID-19 with Zoom, Facebook Live, and so many other online communication platforms.
We were saved not just for our eternal destiny, but for God . . . to magnify and make Him look beautiful to a lost and dying world. Our lives, behavior, attitudes, words, and actions are the frame, the lighting, the sound and the positioning, all pointing to our Savior, Jesus Christ. How do your actions and attitudes light up Jesus and make Him look good? How do your words make Him sound? Do you wear Him well in your home, at work and in your community? Is He at the center of your life or just thrown in a closet and brought out once in a while??
Get to know GRACE!
