Receiving the Gift of Grace

Christmas invites us to pause and remember the grace we have received through Jesus. Whether this season feels joyful or heavy, Christ offers grace that never runs out. John describes it as “grace upon grace”—a continual outpouring that meets us daily with forgiveness, mercy, and love we did not earn. Each layer of grace builds upon the last, reminding us that God’s generosity is not limited by our circumstances. In every season, His grace is sufficient.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

“Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.”
— John 1:16

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the fullness of grace you have given us through Jesus. Forgive me for the times I overlook or take for granted the grace I receive each day. Tonight, I receive again your grace upon grace—grace for my weaknesses, grace for my weariness, and grace for the days ahead. Let your grace fill my heart to overflowing, bringing peace where there is anxiety and hope where there is pain. Help me not only to receive your grace, but to reflect it to others in the way I love, speak, and serve.
In Jesus’ holy and precious name,
Amen.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON

1. Where have you seen God’s grace at work in your life recently, even in small or unexpected ways?

2. Is there an area of your life where you are striving instead of resting in God’s grace? What would it look like to receive His grace there tonight?

3. Who might God be inviting you to extend grace to this season, just as you have freely received it?
