SPEAK THE TRUTH



"Everyone on the side of truth listens to Me" - John 18:37

Is it possible for a man to speak truth on trial? We have a great example who did that and showed us the way of life. Our attitude toward the truth determines the outcome of our lives. There is no greater blessing, than to walk in the truth. It is rooted in the eternal God who’s all powerful and unchangeable.

The truth sounds good in theory, especially if it’s truth with which we agree or that positions us in a favorable light. It’s when we hear truth that isn’t so pleasant that we start to resist. Hate is a self-defense mechanism. When things don’t go well, we play the blame game — we look for a scapegoat. We like always to be right and feel safe. As Elvis Presley said: “Animals don’t hate, and we’re supposed to be better than them". We embrace hate as a way to protect our self-esteem or to defend our interests or beliefs. Hate is in the eye of the giver, not on the receiver. People hate what they don’t understand. They reject those who think or look differently. Pause and think; is the enemy for real? Those who put you in that situation don’t want you to think; you are just a number — they want to add you to their support base.

Even today every trial is a pursuit of the truth. We need to love and acknowledge the truth 100%. The result will be glorious when the truth has liberated and saved us!
