Today's Verse: John 17:17

God's promises, God's Scriptures, and God's clearest message of all, his Son (Hebrews 1:1-2), are God's truth. But only the last of these is not only truth, but the embodiment of grace, deliverance, love, salvation, power, and redemption: Jesus Christ our Lord. He is Immanuel, God with us (Matthew 1:23). He is the living embodiment, the enfleshment of holy God in human form, the living Word (John 1:14-18). God sanctifies us, makes us clean and holy, as we obey the Father's truth revealed in Scripture. Those Scriptures reveal other ways God has worked to sanctify us. God does sanctify us through the work of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:16; 1 Cor. 6:11). God does sanctify us completely through the saving work of Jesus, the Son (1 Cor. 1:2; 1 Peter 1:2). As Jesus' disciples, we are blessed to experience God's words and Word in rich, meaningful ways. So, let's join Jesus and pray for each other to be sanctified by God's truth!
