As ones sent out by Jesus, we are called to represent Him to the world. We must share Christ with others and show Christ to others. How do we pull that off? John 1:14 gives us the answer. We must be full of grace and truth. That is more difficult than it seems. We tend to go to one extreme or another.
Jesus was full of grace AND full of truth. The difficulty in maintaining the grace and truth balance is seen in today’s passage.
- Grace and truth can bring conflict, 15:36-41.
- Grace and truth can bring complications, 16:1-5
People are thirsting for the real Jesus. We can show the real Jesus by being full of grace and truth.
