We need both truth and
holiness (Zechariah 8:3). Truth is not just something to be believed.
Truth changes us. Truth leads us into the pathways of holiness. We need
both "truth and peace" (Zechariah 8:19). When truth changes us, it leads
us into the paths of peace. The holy life is not to be a life of pride.
That is Pharisaism. We think that holiness is all our own doing. The
way of true holiness is also the way of peace. We seek to show, by our
way of living, that we have been saved by the Lord and changed by Him.
We show that the Lord is working in us, when we learn to walk in the way
of peace. We are not to be like the Pharisee who looks down his nose at
other people. We are to reach out to them in peace. At the Cross, we
have learned that we are loved. At the Cross, we learn to hold out the
love of Christ to other people.
