Isaiah declared that the Messiah had no deceit in His mouth.

The conversations of many contain a self-serving flavor. Every word is derived from their deep desire to gain an advantage for themselves. They are generally after money, personal advancement, or sensual gratification. [1 John 2:16]

Christ’s motives were clear. He said what He meant and meant what He said. Above all, He always told the truth.

Truth can be presented with kindness when it is communicated from a heart of love. I always think of the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31. The law of kindness is in her tongue.
