Truth and Grace

By CTA - Christ to All

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 ESV

Reflect

We like the truth when it confirms our desires. We struggle with truth when it’s embarrassing or difficult to hear. This is why it’s so comforting to be told that Jesus has come with grace and truth. He desires truth in our lives—even when the truth is difficult. But he meets that truth with his grace and works true, loving change in our lives.

Act

Go to Jesus in prayer. Tell him the truth—even the things that are embarrassing or uncomfortable. Allow his grace to really soak in this Christmas season.
