Series: The Heart of Jesus
John 1:14
Although Jesus has many virtuous qualities, John identifies grace and
truth as the two primary qualities that embody the person of Jesus. This
is a very important combination. These two attributes are critical to understanding who God is, but these two attributes seem contradictory.
Much misunderstanding in the Christian life results from a failure to
grasp the paradox of grace and truth. Problems arise when we apply one
at the expense of the other. As followers of Christ, if we emphasize
truth above grace, it can make us self-righteous, and judgmental.
Similarly, if we emphasize grace alone it can lead to a license to sin,
and tolerance towards immorality.
Jesus was full of both
grace and truth, and today we want to see how that balance was
demonstrated in His life, as we ask God to shape His heart in us.
