Grace and Truth
Arguing over truth today
vs 14 - grace and truth intertwined
Apart from grace - cannot speak truth
Apart from truth - we cannot speak grace
Grace is more
Grace is more
Multilayered -
CS Lewis - God beckons us to come farther
Grace is an ocean - stop dipping your toe
remember James
Grace is more
humble ourselves = greater grace
humility creates an atmosphere of peace
allows us to speak truth filled with grace
Grace and Peace
Paul opened every letter with “Grace and peace” - 13 times
we need both of them - called to give them away
Grace and Peace
Paul wrote to encourage and correct - sources of grace
Peace and grace should be prized above all else
They should be given away
Obstacles to Grace
bitterness
Obstacles to Grace
un-forgiveness - bringing it up again
we think we are alone - but it defiles others
bitterness affects those around
Scarcity - fear grace is in fixed amounts
I have to keep what grace I find to myself
we forget it is in endless supply
Community of Grace
Grace, peace, and truth are cultivated in community
Community = church - together as a family
Church - we choose like restaurants - 25,000 denominations -
How can we grow when we are free to wander from one family to another?
Peter
Community of Grace
Easy to miss - grace is in the middle of this passage
Show grace through love, hospitality, serving in our community of grace
We extend grace because we received grace
Caretakers
We are stewards
Matthew 25 and Luke 19- parable of the talents
change talents for grace
"We must never forget - if we are to grow in grace, and therefore grow like Christ - that the One we trust, love, and serve is a crucified Savior.
To follow Him means taking up the cross, as well as denying ourselves.
It means a crucified life."
