A Grace Display
God has been planning salvation for a long time. It is designed ultimately to reveal just how rich God is in grace, mercy, and love. He will put the results of the plan on display for all eternity and for all to see. What, or rather who, will that display consist of?
Ephesians 1:4-14,2:1-10,3:10
1 Peter 1:10-12
Revelation 7:9-14
Throughout time and eternity the church, this society of pardoned rebels, is designed by God to be the masterpiece of His grace and goodness. F. F. Bruce
So also, throughout eternity the redeemed will be exhibited as the monuments of the marvelous grace of our loving Lord, who drew us from destruction's pit and raised us to heights of heavenly bliss, and did all this at such a cost to Himself that He spared not His own Son, and in such a manner that not a single one of His attributes, not even His justice, was eclipsed. William Hendriksen
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
Who or what is God going to put on display for ages upon ages?
What will this display demonstrate about God?
What will it say about the ones on display?
Why will it take so long to examine God's riches of grace, mercy, kindness and love?
