Topic: “Amazing Grace”
The Life of John Newton: Author of the Hymn and
Object by Experience of that Same Amazing Grace
“Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound,” is a hymn that has been sung by multitudes for more than 200
years. The one who wrote that song is one who truly understood the meaning of the words that he wrote.
There are examples in history of God saving those whom you and I might consider hopeless cases. John
Newton was one of them. Consumed by an ungodliness that made him infamous even among his fellow
human beings, his life was in a tale spin. Involved in slave trafficking, John Newton had no scruples
about profiting from others’ misery. But it was only when God opened Newton’s eyes to his own spiritual
bondage, and gave him to see the way out of that bondage, that he learned by experience the wonder of
God’s amazing grace. Come join us as we consider the Life of John Newton, and the amazing grace that
alone saves even the most desperate sinners.
