TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth.

All who love the truth recognise that what I say is true.”

.

–    John 18:37   (NLT)

.

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus became one like us

because He had a divine message for us

on how we are to live our lives.

He also had a task to carry out,

which would open the doors of salvation for us

.

Many are living their lives contrary to Jesus’ message,

as they allow themselves to be influenced by the world.

Often, they don’t really know what Jesus said,

and this is because they never heard or read the Gospels.

.

Worse, however, is the attitude of those who have heard and read Jesus’ word

but, because they want to carry on living their own selfish lives,

close their minds to the truth

or give it their own interpretation.

.

True Christians

are those who have searched for the truth;

who have found it in Jesus;

who acknowledge Him as God, as Divine King

and who constantly strive to live His truth

because they believe in life everlasting,

which they so dearly want to spend in God’s presence.

PRAYER…  

.

My Lord, my God, my King,

thank You for all that You have done

for me to know the truth

and to be saved.

.

Lord, my heart and my mind know the truth when they hear it,

and my soul exalts in Your truth,

which draws me closer to You, my Maker and my Saviour.

.

Thank You for loving me to the extreme, O God;

thank You for Your ultimate sacrifice, O Lord;

thank You for Your triumph over death, O Saviour;

thank You for Your truth, O King.

.

Amen.

.
