FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus is the truth, He came for truth, and He lived truthfully.
John 14
Do you know the truth?
Truth is nothing but true.
Truth does not deceive nor manipulate.
Truth will not tell lies, and telling lies is not in alignment with it.
One in distance to truth is close to missing in the way of life.
How are you responding to the truth that comes your way daily?
Truth will teach and lead when it is accepted.
Do you know the truth?
Jesus introduced Himself, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”(John 14:6)
Jesus is the truth, He came for truth, and He lived truthfully.
He was, and He is still the truth and cannot fail.Without doubt, if the world chooses to stand against His truth, He is more than able to overcome.
All should live in truth.
If living in truth is impossible, God would not have demanded living truthfully in this wicked world.
Jesus is the truth.
Living in truth is living in the way of God.
Jesus came to life and led the way for God.
The way of God is not the way of the wicked world, but He has come to lead all into His ways. The truth of the matter is that truth is threatening; Jesus was a threat because of His truth.
Truth is threatening.
Truthfully, Jacob’s love for Joseph was more than his love for his brothers, and it was not a sin. Jacob’s truth about his love for Jacob was not a secret; it was not a lie or an evil agenda, but the brothers could not accommodate the truth.
Genesis 37:4 records, “… when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.”
When Joseph had a dream about his brothers, he told the truth and the way in his dream. The truth about the dream will position Joseph as the head of the whole family without exception.
Joseph revealed the truth about his dream, but his brothers responded, stating,“…Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.”(Genesis 37:8)
The truth about the dream prompted his brothers to reject Joseph and eventually sell him into slavery.
Truthfully, according to his dream, he became the head of his family.
In this wicked world, any attempt to have truth covered or eliminated will only last for a period before truth takes over.
Jesus speaks to all, as He spoke to Jews who believed Him, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”(John 8:31-32)
Accept truth, let it teach and lead you.
Prayer for today: Ask that the truth of God reign and rule your life.
