We hear lots about grace in the Christian circles. In the reformed tradition grace is our banner as we proclaim salvation in Christ alone, through faith alone, by grace alone. But sometimes grace is a concept hard to comprehend in its full depth and maybe that’s why the Bible gives us tons of illustrations about grace, perhaps more than anything else.

It's like talking to someone who has gone through the horrible loss of a son or their spouse, and while we can empathize and assume it must be a horrible pain what they’re going through, we could never understand the emotions, sadness, and despair that they are actually living.

But with grace it’s a little different because while we may get to experience it in person, the noise of our desires, and the pollution of our wants fog our perspective and we end up with an underrated view of grace.

My prayer is that as we take a look at the circumstances in Ahab’s life, we’ll be able to see how God gives His Grace to the most undeserving.
