In Search of Truth

 2021

Truth-Seeker

 

 This thought came into my mind, what if we the Church of the Living Christ, became seekers of truth?   And I do mean me and you, beginning today. Jesus said in John 8:32, “Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”  We as a people have become more like the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate when he replied to Jesus with this question; What is Truth?

 

Would you be willing to say the truth does not change, what is a fact today is also tomorrow as well?  That it is exactness and precision, and as a seeker of truth, you will want to always seek to have accuracy in what you send on the internet, and in your speech.

 

It all begins with you, not with a political party, not with your boss, or even with someone you look up to, it must begin with you.  Do you want deception, then listen to the talking heads on T.V. or the media, or many people in a public office.  As a truth-seeker, your role is to not believe without verifying, always believing that all men are liars and only God is truth.

 

Let me tell you if you desire to be a seeker of truth, where to begin, by checking out these words of Jesus.  Jesus said in John 14:6-7, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.  From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

 

I have found out that a follower of Christ has been given a promise of a Helper, you will find that in John 14:15-17. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.   And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”

 

Remember, we serve a God of the second chance, He loves you and will forgive, so confess the need to be a seeker of Truth, for in doing so you will find Jesus!
