John 8: 31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;Â And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
What of Today’s Verse…
There are few things more coveted than freedom. People die for it. People pray for it. People strive for it. True freedom comes from knowing truth. Knowing truth only comes by living in obedience to Jesus. Truth is not something you merely think about or believe. Truth is something you do, you live. Jesus’ teaching always ends with the exclamation: Blessed are you who do these things! Only by doing will we ever know the truth that liberates us.
Let us Pray:
To the only true God be glory, honour, power, and praise. Father, I seek not only your presence in my daily life, but also your pleasure in the choices I make. Please teach me more of your truth as I pledge to live today in obedience to your word and your will. Through Jesus the living Word I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Wisdom speaks well, conveying each meaning clearly, And listens for the subtlest sense in others’ speech. Men of wisdom befriend the wise and keep that friendship constant, Not opening and closing like the petaled lotus.
