Each year when Easter rolls around, I am awestruck at the wonder of Who my God is. And each year, I find myself faced with the same questions and, thankfully, the same answers:

Why? Why would a holy God love such an unholy me?

Love. Unconditional love.

But why? Why would a God of love shower that gift down upon such an ungrateful me?

Mercy. Incomparable mercy.

So why? Why would a God of mercy offer a full pardon for my unholiness and ingratitude?

Grace. Amazing grace.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9, NIV).
