grace, truth, Jesus

 


Claim truth.  Settle for nothing less.  I heard Andy Stanley say something that has stuck with me the last day… Jesus is all grace.  And Jesus is all truth.  All the time.


Our savior and friend, the one who has always been for us and the sacrifice sent from God brought freedom and forgiveness.  His life was exchanged for ours.  This is truth.  That is overwhelming grace.  And it really is for all time, and Jesus is for us all the time.


Take some time to think through these thoughts on grace and truth and our Savior.


Grace.


James 4:6  NLT

And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”


Hebrews 4:16  NLT

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.


Ephesians 2:8  NLT

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.


Truth.


John 8:32  NLT

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.


2 Corinthians 13:8  NLT

For we cannot oppose the truth, but must always stand for the truth.


2 Timothy 1:14  NLT

Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.


Jesus.


Matthew 1:21  NLT

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.


1 John 1:7  NLT

But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.


Ephesians 4:21  NLT

Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him,


Take some time to claim, hold on to and live in these three realities: Grace. Truth. Jesus.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
