I recently read of a family who lived in Nebraska.  They decided to take a vacation to the west coast so their six year old son could see the Pacific Ocean.   Upon seeing the ocean, the son was awe-stricken.  The next day he took a jar to the beach, filled it with sea water, and put a lid on it.  The father asked him what he was going to do with it.  The boy said, “I am going to take it home and show my friends what the Pacific Ocean looks like!”

While that is humorous, I think it illustrates, at least in principle, human wisdom trying to understand the magnitude of God’s Grace.  If you are worried, afraid, or even concerned that God’s Grace cannot sustain you through your present trials and dilemmas, perhaps it’s because your faith is trapped in a little jar.
