What We Communicate: Both Grace and Truth

Share:

What We Communicate is Grace and Truth to be Christ-likeIn a previous post we established why Christ-like communication is imperative for leaders. To have the kind of consistent, charitable, constructive, and controlled communication of Christ requires that we become more and more Christ-like to the core of our being so we exhibit BOTH grace and truth as He did. We’ll look at how we communicate with both grace and truth in the next post. Here we will consider the content of Christ-like communication.

Not only did Jesus come full of grace and truth (Jn. 1:14) but He also spoke of both grace AND truth.

The Content of Christ-like Communication Must Include BOTH Grace and Truth

Christ communicated about grace.

Jesus didn’t just speak truth WITH grace. He spoke OF grace as well as truth. We don’t find Jesus actually using the term “grace” but we do find many word pictures and references to the concept of grace.

Christ communicated about truth.

Truth characterized everything Jesus communicated. We can find a number of examples of how Jesus specifically pointed to truth when He spoke.

People in Jesus’ sphere of influence couldn’t help but know He stood for BOTH grace AND truth by the words He used to communicate.

In addition to the above content, the Christ-like Communication Guide for Church Leaders gives some examples of Jesus speaking about grace as well as some examples of Jesus speaking about truth and implications for church leaders.
