The Truth

Read John 8:31-47

This world we live in is full of varying opinions on just about everything we can think of. And this is true when it comes to our faith in Jesus Christ.

People believe different things based on different lines of rationale and reasoning. Yet Jesus plainly tells us it is the truth that will set us free and that if the Son sets us free, we will be free indeed. What exactly is Jesus talking about here? Read the text again and see that Jesus is referring to those who have no room for Jesus' word. Jesus says you are looking for a way to kill me because you are unlike Abraham, who you claim is your father. Abraham believed God, but these Jewish people Jesus was speaking to were unwilling to believe in God's Son. They were set in believing Jesus' message was not true.

Ever talk with someone who claims to know the will and way of God but after speaking with them you quickly assess they really don't know the God of the Bible? See, so many people create this image of God and their image of God surprisingly reflects the person you are talking with. And their God is really what they think is right, what they think is true.

Listen, as followers of Jesus we are called to know the truth of God. And this truth comes from the word of God. While others may claim to know truth, let's you and I make every effort to know the word of God because by Jesus' word we will know the truth and the truth will set us free.
