God’s infinite wealth is enough to solicit our awe, especially since He not only owns all material possessions, but is also the inexhaustible supply of attributes like love, compassion, and grace.

But even more awe-inspiring than God’s wealth is His generosity.

The cross demonstrated that the Lord was not stingy about offering us salvation. He did not think about keeping it from us. He did not even think about providing it with a sprinkle here and there. Instead, He washed us in a revitalizing downpour of grace.

Furthermore, Christ’s brand of generosity is risky.

Some people are genuinely kind givers, but because of their abundance, what they give away does not hurt them. However, our Savior put His existence on the line. He took the death that we should suffer for our sins and He granted us everlasting life.

His munificence was not comfortable; it was painful, but He considered us worth it.

Love begets love. Grace begets grace. Our God is rich in love and in grace and has plenty to spare.

As Jesus attracted us, perhaps through others, He yearns to attract those who still don’t know Him yet — perhaps through us.
