One another; as I have
A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.

-John 13:34

I have been loved. Unilaterally. With no preconditions.

I have been commanded to love. Unilaterally. With no preconditions.

By One who is far better than I.

But I won’t love another?

Who do I think I am?!

To dare.

Disobey.

This must not be in the Christian!

I thought of this two or three days ago:

Grace without truth and truth without grace
are equally Christ-less.

Maybe even anti-Christ.

Certainly antithetical to Christianity.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).

Grace and truth — too easily we keep them apart.

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ
