January 2023 marks a special moment in the history of the Church. 250 years ago, on the first Sunday of the year, a young pastor and former slave trader stood up to introduce a hymn he had written to accompany his sermon. Its title? Amazing Grace.
Arguably the most widely known hymn, both inside and outside of the Church, the message of Amazing Grace has inspired hope in the wake of tragedy and resonates with all walks of life. And yet the hope of Newton’s popular hymn is grounded in the message of the gospel.
Amazing Grace serves as a powerful parable of salvation, repentance, and the enduring grace of God through Jesus Christ. Now, perhaps more than ever, the story of the hymn and the life of the man who wrote it needs to be told.
