Sent by Grace to Show the Truth

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

We have seen over the last couple of days that at the Incarnation, when Jesus came, He came with grace and truth.  Mankind has shown his resistance to both: he does not want to face up to the darkness of his sin, and he doesn't want any help when God offers to reach down and save him. This passage, near the end of his life and ministry on earth, brings us back to theme of truth.  Connected to His truth is the way to God and eternal life.  Christ came in the flesh that we would know God by seeing Him, hearing Him, watching Him, and trusting Him.  "Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him. How I've proved Him o'er and o'er. Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus. O for grace to trust Him more."
