Day 1: Jesus Never Chose Between Grace and Truth He Carried Both Jesus didn’t soften truth to gain acceptance and He didn’t withhold grace to gain control. Scripture (NIV): John 1:14 “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Teaching: Grace says: You are loved. Truth says: You are called higher. Jesus never compromised either. Without grace: - People hide - Shame grows - Performance increases Without truth: - Growth stops - Conviction disappears - Change becomes optional Jesus welcomed people and transformed them. Action Steps: - Reflect on whether you naturally lean toward grace or truth - Ask someone you trust how they experience your communication - Write one area where you need more balance Reflection: Do people feel both loved and challenged around you?

Sabbath reminds us that our value isn’t found in productivity but in abiding with God. This week, set aside intentional time to rest, reflect, and let God restore what striving never could.
