|

Let it to be so now; for we should fulfill all righteousness. The grace Jesus possessed caused Him to experience baptism as an example for us. |
|
Matthew 5:14,16 |
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. … Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Followers of Jesus reflect His grace to all who know us. |

Matthew 11:4-6; Luke 7:22,23 |
Go your way and tell John the things you have seen and heard, how the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, who is not offended in me. John needed to understand: The grace Jesus offers reaches those in need according to The Father's timing. |

Matthew 18:23-33 |
Therefore the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king which would take account of his servants. When the accounting began, one was brought unto him which owed him ten thousand talents. … The servant fell down and worshipped him saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay you all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants which owed him a hundred pence. And he laid hands on him and took him by the throat saying, Pay me what you owe. And his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him saying, Have patience with me and I will pay you all. And he would not, but went and cast him into prison. So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they came and told unto their lord all that was done. Then his lord, said, O you wicked servant, I forgave you all that debt because you desired that I should. You should have had compassion for your fellow servant, even as I had pity on you. Those who appreciate the Father’s grace, offer grace to others. |

John 8:7,10,11 |
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. … Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you? … Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more. Jesus offered grace to the woman. He also instructed her to obey. |
|
Mark 11:25 |
And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have something against anyone, that your Father which is in heaven may forgive your trespasses. |
|
Matthew 25:34-40 |
Those who accept the blessings of grace will share them with fellowmen. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me meat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? When did we see you a stranger and took you in, or naked and clothed you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison and came unto you? And the King shall answer them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. Allowing our Savior’s grace to flow through to others is rewarded abundantly. |
