Hebrews 1, 2

The longer I know the Lord, the more I realize that we are VERY dependent upon His grace. The writer of Hebrews (Possibly Paul, possibly another early Christian leader who was, no doubt, strongly influenced by Paul’s teachings) states that Christ Himself suffered death by the grace of God. In His death, by God’s grace, He fully experienced death in every person’s place. [Heb 2:9] Through Christ, God paid the penalty of our sin. Because grace is GREATER than our sin, He overcame death and suffering in victorious fashion.

Some good news … we too can overcome the suffering of this world by the grace of God. If you are not looking to that grace, praying to the God Who dispenses it, and reading about it in His Word, you are trying to do it ALL BY YOURSELF. Not wise.
