C.S. Lewis once said, “The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.” What a beautiful reminder that Jesus didn’t stay distant or unseen. Out of His great love for each and every one of us, He stepped right into our world. Why? So we could finally know exactly what God’s heart looks like. In Christ, we see compassion that moves toward the broken. We see truth that sets the captive free, mercy that meets us in our failures, and grace that covers what we could never fix on our own. God is never silent nor hidden. He speaks to us through His Son. Every miracle, every word, and every tear Jesus shed, reveals a Father who wanted to be known. Jesus didn’t come to merely tell us about God, He came to show us God. To walk our roads, enter our pain, sit with our humanity, and shine light into our darkness. The God of glory wrapped Himself in flesh so we would never again wonder if we are loved, seen, or pursued. Through Jesus, the invisible became visible, and the distant God became our present Savior.

Reflection Question:
Where do I need to welcome Jesus, the Word made flesh, into my everyday life so His grace and truth can reshape my heart?

Prayer Prompt:
Lord Jesus, You stepped into our world so we could know the Father’s heart. Fill me with Your grace and truth today, and help me see You at work in every moment.

June 4th – Matthew 6:15

Matthew 6:15

“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

C.S. Lewis once said, “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” Human beings can do truly depraved and horrible things to each other. Some atrocities are difficult to describe, or to think about, let alone forgiving someone who has done them. All the same, Jesus insists we understand how much God has forgiven us for. Because we have all sinned against God, and by comparison, our sin against Him is far more than any person can sin against another. But more than that, God knows the destruction that comes with unforgiveness. How it can hinder our relationship with the Lord and create emotional and spiritual burdens. That’s why He wants us living a life that practices humility and grace towards others. Because by embracing forgiveness, we can experience the freedom and peace that comes from aligning our lives with the teachings of Jesus.
