God's Grace in Our Brokenness
Romans 5:6-11
For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. For rarely will someone die for a just person though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. How much more then, since we have now been justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from wrath. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, then how much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life. And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.

The book of Judges reveals a cycle of sin, suffering, and divine deliverance. Yet the overarching theme is not human failure, but God's persistent grace. Today's passage reminds us that Christ died for us "while we were still sinners." In your own life, where do you see God's grace breaking through your brokenness? Remember, your sin is not the end of your story - God's grace is. Take a moment to confess any areas where you've been resisting God's grace, and receive His forgiveness anew.
