Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you that you were full of grace and truth, not just one or the other. Forgive us when we err on either side. And give us the wisdom to know how to live with that wonderful combination of the two, just like you did. Amen.
Scripture: John 1:14
Journal: What does it look like to be full of grace and truth? What does it look like in your life? What does it look like as you live your life in this world? Which side do you typically err? What is the impact of that? When was the last time you have spoken truth without grace? When was the last time you sacrificed truth in order to not offend or make waves?
Reflection:
grace and truth
not
grace
at
the expense
of
truth
nor
truth
at
the expense
of
grace
but
both
together
that
is what
Jesus
calls us to
Prayer
Closing Prayer: Forgive us, Lord Jesus, for the times when we have been cruel and harsh and uncaring in our presentation of truth. And forgive us, as well, for the times when we have sacrificed truth for the sake of civility. Help us to be full of grace and truth, just the way you were. Amen.
