Grace Upon Grace - Pastor Mark Testerman
Grace was never intended to be the backup plan of the law. Grace is not a substitute teacher; grace is the teacher. Nor was grace the spare tire when the law went flat. Grace has been there from the beginning. Grace has always been God’s heart. Out of His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. Sandwiched between the two graces, we find the four-letter preposition “upon.” “Behind our English word “upon” we discover the Greek word “anti” which means, because of. Out of His fullness we have all received grace because of His grace. Isn’t that beautiful?
