Truth Wednesday- The Foundation of Truth submitted by Anne Morgan

Truth Wednesday



What would you say is the definition of truth?
Is it something that is fact?
Perhaps you see truth as that which has been proven to be real.

Dictionary.com has 12 definitions, each varying in small degrees from the next.
One definition is “the true or actual state of a matter.”
Still another says “an agreement with a standard or original.”

None of them, however, provide the answer we are ultimately searching for - who sets the standard for truth?

When Jesus was on earth He was asked the question “What is truth?” (John 18:38) This was in response to His announcement of why He was born.
Ask any Christian why Jesus came to earth and chances are they will respond “to save us from our sins.” He did, didn’t He? Yes, but the heart of the matter comes from Jesus Himself and is found in John 18:37: “Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

When Jesus stood before Pilate, the Truth was on trial. Truth is still on trial today. The world, and its prince do not want the truth to be heard. Why? Because the truth is what sets us free. (John 8:32)
Satan desires to bind us with his lies. And we fall prey to his deception. Even among Christians the truth is feared. Why? Because sometimes the truth is hard to hear. Sometimes it means we have to change. Maybe the truth expects us to do something we don’t want to do. Substitute the name Jesus for the word truth and you begin to see why even Christians struggle at times with Truth.
To quote Tumnus from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, “After all, he isn’t a safe lion.”
Once you come face to face with the God of the universe, you realize the truth of who you are, of what the world is, and you are never the same. But if you embrace the Truth, like Isaiah, there is salvation and cleansing. And just as Isaiah did, you will say, “Here am I. Send me.” (Is. 6), because like Lucy (The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), you know, beyond any doubt that He is good.”
Following the Truth isn’t always safe, but it is - He is - always good.
To follow the Truth, we need to know the Truth.

This weeks challenge: Find out how many times Jesus said “I tell you the truth.” The amount may surprise you!

Next week - “The Cosmic Battle - Reality vs. Illusion”

So Far This Week:

I have run across many people who are having a hard time commenting or finding where they are to comment on the posts. They want to share their prayer requests or music videos and can't. I am hoping this will be easier. From now on, I will add the new day and the new day's topic to the home page post. Just click on the word "HERE" and it will take you to the post with the comment box already up and you will be able to see comments other people have shared. I am praying this will be easier for everyone. If not, we can go back to the old way.
