Grace in paradox
Posted on Oct 9, 2016 in Predikanir
When I see the people seeking asylum here in Iceland, I have never heard someone say, “I want to become a rich man”. No, everybody says, “I just want to live an ordinary life”. And there is wisdom in this.
On the other hand, those who live in a blessed situation always run the risk of being caught by the trap of taking things for granted. I think that here in Iceland we should be especially aware of this risk, whether in the church or outside the church. We need to recognize the grace of God as grace.
