My son visited the place were John Newton spent his early childhood, Purfleet/ Averley, in the county of Essex .The event he attend was an historical meeting were a plaque was erected and a historical talk was on Johns life. There was also a person who sung one of the most famous hymns ever written , Amazing grace,and one of the most recorded songs ever,it is one of my favourite hymns.It does amaze me how this hymn keeps popping up, it appears to me that God keeps bringing to mens mind, its truth, His amazing grace. What God is saying to us is, that no matter how far you have fallen, His grace can lift you up,no matter how far you have wandered away from God ,you can be restored.You see ,that is what makes it so amazing, the blessings of Grace comes to us through Jesus,salvation came into being by Jesus paying the cost,we could not . The writer , writing of his own experience,descibes himself as a wretch, as being lost and being blind, God saves him through Jesus, this trully amazes him.
A prayer ..../Dear God we praise You for the grace we experience through Jesus Your son, it trully is amazing. Amen /
