Grace and the Law

I read an interesting scripture today about King Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 30:10-20. It is all about the slaughter of the Passover Lamb by people who where not ceremonally clean. (according to the law)
But Hezekiah knew this and prayed to God "May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone who sets his heart on seeking God...even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary."And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

I think its amazing that God would heal people despite their imperfection according to His law !

This is also amazing because it was at the time of the Passover !
Have you ever prayed for someone to be accepted by God despite their state, despite their ignorance or despite falling short of the Law ? I have prayed many times for myself, asking that God would heal me despite who I am.

James 5:16-18 (NEB) ...A good man's prayer is powerful and effective.

Pray now for someone who falls short of your rules, your law - give some grace that they may be healed ...........
