Kingly Kindness

Thursday. Ps. 45 :1-11.

Graciousness is the characteristic kingly trait. Yet true graciousness never compromises on the right. Jesus was “full of grace and truth.” Not grace without truth; that is a weak sentimentality. Not truth without grace; that is hard and repellant. Truth is grace holding up the highest standard and insisting on its being reached. Grace is truth reaching down a strong arm arid helping you attain the standard. Jesus was full of both. This is his kingHness.
