He and His Word Are Truth


His truth and His Word will set you free. The "truth" of this world is often just assumptions, ideas, or theories. If the truth of this world is all you know, one day you'll be distraught to find out you've been living in bondage to a lie.



June's Message, Day 11:

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17 NIV

And:

To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 NIV



What is truth? Pilate asked Jesus this very question on the day of His crucifixion (John 18:37-38 NIV), and the same question plagues us still today, even with all our knowledge and advances in technology. It plagues us because one must understand that truth does not come from technology or science or the knowledge and understanding of man. Science and our understanding of it all are based on assumptions which may or may not be true. "Facts", are more often assumptions, ideas, or theories, not necessarily truth. Jesus answered the question of truth loud and clear. Truth comes only from God, the One who knows it all and made it all, and through His revealed Word. The truth will set you free, but you must learn it from Him and His Word. If you're relying on the world to give you its facts and "truth", you, at some point, will be sadly disappointed, misled, and held in bondage to a lie.
