Injustice should break our hearts and fill our eyes with tears. Our nation cannot stay the same. We must be a better people. Will you let Jesus lead you to love your neighbor?

Today we look at "grace" which is unmerited favor and forgiveness. God is grace and he has given grace, himself, to us. 2 Corinthians 1:20 tells us this, "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.
