The Truth

John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

 

 

I've always heard the above verse. The truth will set you free would come forth out of TV shows or movies. I never knew that this was something that Jesus had said and that He was implying that He is the Truth and believing and receiving Him would set us free. He would lead us to eternal life. I always assumed that it was just a saying. I was wrong.

 

Jesus is the Truth. The Bible is the Truth. The thing about the Truth is that people don't necessarily like or welcome it. People often get upset if one is honest with them or if one dares to tell someone Merry Christmas or invites them to church or stands against something that is wrong. The world doesn't like the Truth. It never has and never will. We just have to continue telling the Truth, living the Truth, and showing the Truth.

 

I'm not going to say that it is easy because it is not. There are times that I just want to keep my head under the sand-be isolated but we can't. Always speak the Truth and always remember that the responses you get will not always be warm and fuzzy but may well be hostile and hateful. I look at the apostles. They did not die an easy death and they were constantly persecuted. If they had that to face we should expect a bumpy road ahead for us.

 

Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil!
