A Daily Devotional – The Truth – The Eternal Word
Comment: Some time ago, around 30 AD, or
2012 years ago; give or take a year or two, the man Pilate was questioning the
KING of kings. Breaking in to that final trial, just before Messiah’s death the
Savior speaks to Pilate these final words. “You say
rightly that I am a king, for this cause I was born, and for this cause I have
come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate’s
response to Jesus, “What is truth?” To see the context of this final trial of
Jesus, see the gospel of John 18:28-38.
Devotional: If
you are a student of scripture then you know that God is Truth. He God, has
revealed Himself in time and history in different ways. Notice what the writer
of Hebrews says in his opening statement of Hebrews 1:1-3 – God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time
past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His
Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the
worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His
person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by
Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Now notice
in John 14:1-6 – "Let not your heart
be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are
many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go
you know, and the way you know." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not
know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
The joy of forgiveness is written in Truth on the faces
of the children of God. The spirit of the saved in Christ is not filled with
the guile of unbelief, as they willingly walk in the WAY, the TURTH and the
LIFE. If you read Psalms and I hope you do, you will notice immediately that
the redeemed, rejoice in the KING of kings. Notice Psalm 33. God is Sovereign
over Creation and History, and in THIS Truth we praise the LORD. Psalm 33
describes many of God’s attributes. In this, the LORD of lords is revealed and exalted
in Truth. Behold the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him and to fear the
LORD is to know the Truth.
Do not be the pilot of your life, open your eyes to the
Truth.
