Truth
The world’s message is so depressing, and it surrounds us
everywhere we go. It shouts to us from billboards, it plays over the radio, it
shouts at us on TV, and permeates even the church atmosphere. These same ideas
even find their way onto the mission field and through the lips of
friends.
Worthless failure
ugly dirty ALONE
depressed unloved helpless can’t do anything
right
These thoughts are debilitating and cripple the Christian
into stagnate action. So what can we do? It seems there is no way to escape. How can we find worth, purpose, and joy?
You and I must go to the very source of truth: Jesus Himself.
“Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” (John 14:6)
“…To this end was I
born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto
the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” (John 18:37)
What relief! There
is truth in the world. Another
name for Jesus is WORD (see John 1),
so we know that what the Word tells us is truth. The exciting part???? Through the blood of Jesus a whole new set of
labels applies.

One of my favorite chapters to read whenever I am
listening to the Satan’s whispers instead of God’s truth, is Ephesians 1.
Ephesians 1 comprehensively explains the position of the Believer in the kingdom
of God. There is no reason to walk around defeated and down! God sees you and I as precious and beloved in
His sight.
Praise the Lord for Truth!
