Jesus Is Truth

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

Jesus Christ is truth. What is truth? It is something that is actually real; it is the way things actually are; there is no falsehood or deception.

Unfortunately we live our lives sometimes believing lies, about ourselves and the world around us. When Jesus Christ came into the world, He brought truth to this earth. He said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.” You can 100% trust God because God Himself is truth; in Him there is no lie. Jesus said many times to His disciples, “I tell you the truth.”

Falsehood and lies are the opposite of truth. The devil is a liar. The devil may tell you, “God doesn’t love you. You can’t be forgiven. You aren’t worth anything.” But God says the truth to you — He says to you things like, “I love you. You can be forgiven. You are worth so much that I sent My Son to die for you. You can have the gift of eternal life by accepting Christ as Savior and Lord.”

You and I are to be vessels of God’s truth to others. The Bible says we are to “speak the truth in love.” Don’t be harsh or unkind when you speak truth to someone; speak it gently and in love. But as we receive God’s truth and as we speak His truth to others, the world will be a better place. Let us walk in God’s truth each and every day. Jesus Christ is God’s truth in our lives.

So, this week, let us pray and ask God to
  • Help us to always tell the truth
  • Pour out His Holy Spirit all over the world, that people everywhere would come to know Christ
  • Give us His wisdom and protection as we seek to make disciples of all nations and help people grow in Christ
THANK YOU so much for your prayers. Your prayers are like a spiritual covering over us and we appreciate you so much!

May God bless you.
