One of the most powerful lessons on grace came to me during a conversation with my 9-year old son Hudson.  It came as we were driving to Edisto Island on highway 174.   I can’t wait to tell you what happened, for I’m convinced that only when we understand grace will we fully understand today’s reading from John 6.  To spiritually prepare you, and before the sermon, pray this definition of grace quietly to yourself:

 
Love that reaches up is adoration
Love that reaches across is affection
Love that reaches down is grace.
