“Come think of it, which one of you can convict me of wrongdoing? If I tell you the unimpeachable truth, why do you refuse to believe me and accept what I say?” John 8:46 EFP
Jesus’ life is his best witness to the veracity of his claims. His life is impeccable. His words are unimpeachable! His motives are as pure as the driven snow. And you know what? Even his accusers know it. Just like Daniel of old, they cannot find one thing wrong with him. There is no disconnect between his “talk” and his “walk”
It would be awesome for that to be said of me—by those who know me best. Sadly, I come up short in that department. Yet I know that as long as there is discrepancy between what I preach and what I act out in my personal life, my witness will not be effective where it matters most—my family. Jesus standard is perfect. My track record is spotty at best. But my heart longs for it. I want to live a life that honors God through my words and actions. I want the day to come when I do what is right because it is right, and not because it is what is required.
