If someone uses the phrase “point of grace”, what do you take that to mean?

The name of a bunch of singers.
Otherwise, I dunno.  What does it mean?

I’ve only heard this used a couple of times. I took it to mean Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. That which ushered in the Age of Grace. Some other thoughts are that it could be the point at which grace is realized by an individual and they become saved. I guess either explaination could work depending on the context it was used.

I was just wondering if anyone else may have thoughts on the subject.

I hadn’t given it much thought before, but I have been since you asked the question.  In my mind, I took it as the point of realization for an individual, but you’re right it might depend on the context.
