When we believe we’re right, we stop learning. When we see ourselves as righteous, we stop receiving grace. When we think we know who’s good and bad, we miss mercy. And when we’re sure we see clearly, we stop noticing anything new. But God often moves in unexpected people and places. While we may cling to old ways and rules, Jesus is always about the new — new vision, new mercy, new healing, new freedom.
