St Matthew

Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13, Psalm 19A, Matthew 9:9-13

Tuning into grace

It is through grace that I come to know my unique part in building up the body of Christ on earth. It is so easy to go with the cultural flow of community life and its collective good works never giving a thought to my individual share of God’s grace. Perhaps I envy another’s talent or calling when all the time God is trying to get through to me the special task he wants me to do. Strangely enough I discover my individual gift and power through bringing my sinfulness into the light and life of God’s grace. Jesus Christ calls sinners so that God can influence them.
