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.
