Grace is the part of the character of God. God is unconditional love! Who wouldn’t love that? Who doesn’t love receiving grace, even it if is just from the people around us? WE all need some grace. But real grace – God’s grace - is never alone. It’s always accompanied by truth. And that’s what makes grace unsettling. When a person receives grace AND truth, it doesn’t allow the person to remain the same. IT changes them into someone new. To kick off this series, John tells us that this IS the point of the Christmas story. And Zacchaeus shows us that the Christmas story is unsettling in the best possible way.
