The Story of King Manasseh

2 Chronicles 33:1-20

The Mighty Grace of God

King Manasseh is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of how powerful the grace of God really is.

When a man finally humbles himself before the Lord, grace meets him there.

Manasseh had gone far into sin, rebellion, and darkness. But when he was brought low, he looked to God as his only remedy. That is humility. That is faith. And the Lord answered him with mercy.

Where there is true humility before God, wonderful grace flows from the heart of God.

And notice this—God's grace did more than simply rescue him from bondage. Grace began to transform him.

Manasseh didn't just say, "Thank You, Lord."

He started cleaning house.
