"But … can you remember a time when there was someone you’d run from, but also someone you’d slow down for, just so they could catch you? Have you ever moved from wanting to escape to wanting to be caught? God chases you. You might think that’s true and have believed it for a long time. Maybe you’ve thought he’s been trying to catch you for some time – and not for nice reasons. There’s a surprising characteristic about God that might be a brand-new thought for you: the reason God chases you is because He wants to extend grace. He’s chasing you down to give you grace. He’s not trying to serve a warrant so you can face the consequences of your sin, shame, or guilt. God is chasing you … with grace. We’re going through a book called Grace is Greater by Kyle Idleman. We introduced it last week, and this is an incredible quote he shares: “The worst thing that could happen is that you spend your life trying to outrun God because you think He’s chasing you to collect what you owe when He’s really chasing you to give you what you could never afford.” It’s a massive, big idea. You can run away and hide, but grace is relentless. Grace will chase you down … and then you’re going to find out … tag, you’re it. It’s not just for you. Like cooties, it’s supposed to spread."
