According to Dallas Willard, divine grace is God acting in our lives to accomplish what we cannot do on our own. Grace has a face, and the face is Jesus—especially Jesus with a basin in his hands and a towel around his waist in John 13. On the night before the cross, Jesus does something unthinkable. In a culture where the lowliest servant washed dusty feet, the One who “came from God and was returning to God” gets up from the...]]></description><link>https://www.tableinthecity.org/post/grace-has-a-face</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2c8a4a418318a8f7e29abd</guid><category><![CDATA[Learn from Jesus]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 23:01:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_a144a6d8b6f24a0786211c0ed537b5bc~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Jose Philip</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Table Jesus Sets]]></title><description><![CDATA[We keep waiting for a moment when we feel less compromised, less conflicted, less afraid before we come to Jesus.
