The other morning, I walked into the kitchen to discover that the ice bin in our refrigerator had overflowed and there was water all over the floor. It was disappointing, because the water overflowing indicated there was a problem somewhere else. An overflow points to something, it teaches us something. When a toilet overflows, it indicates there is a blockage somewhere. When a river overflows, there is often something blocking the way of the river.
Here, the grace of God is overflowing, and what it is indicating is that the God has come into the world to show us the immense love of God. The overflow indicates that there is abundant grace for all. Paul tells us about the intent of Jesus Christ -- to come into the world to save sinners -- and we're all sinners.
There is an overflow of grace, and it's all pointing back to an incredible love that God has for you.
