Saying / ProverbQuote★★★★
When we get full of this grace we want to see everyone blessed--we want to see all the churches blessed, not only all the churches here, but in the whole country. That was the trouble with Christ’s disciples. He had hard work to make them understand that His gospel was for everyone, that it was a stream to flow out to all nations of the earth. They wanted to confine it to the Jews, and He had to convince them that it was for every living being.
The point
When grace fills a person, they long for all to be blessed—not just their own church but all churches and all nations. Christ's disciples struggled to see His gospel was for everyone, not just Jews. Grace broadens the heart's boundaries.
