Narrator 2
The blood of Christ, shed for us at the cross, is really not so mysterious at all. It does represent Christ’s pain–His suffering, His death–His sacrifice that we might live.

Narrator 1
But beyond that, the blood represents God’s grace, for not one of us deserves life in Christ. It is a gift.

Narrator 2
Grace. Let the word linger on the tongue. Let it roll and tumble around in your mind. Grace.

Narrator 1
Don’t let go of it too soon. Caress it, and let it caress you, for grace is the warm, forgiving embrace of a perfect God for an imperfect soul.

Narrator 2
Grace is God putting His arm around us, looking the believer straight in the eye, and saying, “I know who you are. I know what you are. I know all about your problems, your failures, your sins. I know it all. And I love you anyway.”

Narrator 1
Grace is God saying, “Jesus.”

Narrator 2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 1:3-4)

Narrator 1
(warmly)
Grace. We do not deserve it. We cannot earn it. It is a gift.

Narrator 2
When Jesus rose from the dead and walked out of that tomb, God the Father was saying, “Here is my Son. See? He lives! He paid the price, once and for all. And He lives forever! Believe in Him, and you too will have life eternal.”

Narrator 1
It is all of grace.

Our four-year study of First Corinthians has now drawn to a close. All 170 sessions, in both text and audio, remain available at the First Corinthians page. More important, we are pleased to offer the complete study in one PDF volume! This makes an excellent resource for any study of the letter. All this is available at our First Corinthians page.

The writer to the Hebrews quotes from a number of important Psalms in his epistle/sermon. We have recently added A Five-psalm Preparatory Study for the Book of Hebrews: Psalms 102, 40, 8, 110, 95 —which supplies an essential preface to the Hebrews study. Even if you are one of the thousands who have already downloaded and used our Hebrews study, this new resource will contribute to your understanding of that book. And if you have not yet downloaded our popular Hebrews study, be sure to obtain this new five-psalm study as well, and work through it before beginning Hebrews.
