Grace is offensive because it tells us the truth — we’re not just bad, we’re dead. Until we understand the depth of our sin, we’ll never understand the beauty of God’s love. We live in a world that starts with personal experience and ends with a vague sense of God, but Jesus flips that order — He starts with grace and ends with resurrection. Sin isn’t about breaking rules; it’s about being separated from life itself. And dead people can’t fix themselves. But Jesus doesn’t wait for us to clean up — He reaches into our graves and brings us back to life, not because of our past, but because of our potential. Those who are forgiven much, love much, because grace doesn’t decorate death; it resurrects life. This is the invitation of the gospel: to stop managing our sin and start receiving new life.
