Jesus' ministry had been well established by the time He made a trip back to His hometown. But rather than welcome back their native son as the savior He was, the town noted only the return of the carpenter's son-just another hometown boy. The price of their prejudice? They experienced few of the wonders that Jesus had performed so freely in the cities and streets of strangers. Those who should have known Jesus best could not fathom Father God working so divinely through someone they saw as all too human.Today how many others have been overlooked because of the same kind of prejudice? Are you one who took a wrong turn, revealing your own all-too-human side? Are you now wondering whether your Father can ever use you again? Are you asking yourself how you can face those you hurt? Or how you can respond to those who still accuse you? Do you wonder how you can serve as an instrument of God when you can't even seem to shovel through your own wracking guilt? The Offense of Grace has the answers. In loving, no-nonsense language, author Vince Mercardante acknowledges the cost of sin, but then coaches you on how to get back on track. Why sit on the sidelines, Mercardante asks-especially when you have a Father whose redemptive power can transform tragic missteps into victory laps!
