#Psalm 86:15; Matthew 20#
Henry Schorr uses the poem "It's Friday, But Sunday's Coming" and the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20) to explain God's grace. He argues that Christianity uniquely offers unconditional love and grace, contrasting it with other religions that emphasize earning divine approval. God's grace is a free gift, not earned through good deeds, and is extended to all who humbly seek it. This grace, while seemingly unfair to some, is costly because it was purchased by Jesus's sacrificial death on the cross, paying the debt for humanity's sins. Receiving this grace requires repentance, acknowledging one's sin and turning to Christ. Henry encourages listeners to surrender to God's care and embrace the forgiveness and new life offered through Jesus. He further explains grace with an illustration of a police officer letting someone go from a speeding ticket and offering them cash.
