Grace and Truth

Morning: Psalm 25; Deuteronomy 6:10-15; Hebrews 1:1-14
Evening: Psalm 9, 15; John 1:1-18
Truth is, we humans are learning lots, but we don’t know much yet! We still live with a myriad of marvelous mysteries about life and death. Frequently, perhaps futilely, we offer explanations. Deuteronomy (around 622 BC) thought trouble and death came from God’s jealous anger because we betrayed him!?  Ouch! When Jesus appeared, Hebrews found ‘evidence’ that he was in fact the eternal God in human form. John’s Gospel agreed.  Interesting, though, that this God-in-the-flesh showed no signs of jealousy; Jesus was “full of grace and truth.”
