Every story of grace begins with a mirror. Romans opens by showing us the truth about sin—not to shame us, but to reveal what Jesus stepped into. He didn’t copy our sin; He copied our experience. He felt our struggle, carried our shame, and faced the distance of every God-less moment so He could forge redemption from within Himself. When we see that clearly, grace stops being theory and becomes the power that restores the reflection we were always meant to see.
