When we watch the nightly news, we are watching something that is brackish in nature. Someone, a human with their own world view, reports on what THEY think is the news. Is it really the truth? Or is it a "version" of the truth?
Right now, the hot topic is baby formula. There is a nation-wide shortage of it. So, what's a mother to do? What did we do before the invention of baby formula? Mothers made their own.
If you search for 'making your own baby formula' recipes you get two types of results - 'wonderful, safe recipes' and 'dangerous recipes.' Which is correct? What is truth? What is opinion?
There are several rabbit holes we could go down in the 'truth vs opinion' scenarios. Sexual identity, Republican vs Democrat, pro-choice vs pro-life, cats vs dogs, the list is endless. I'm here to talk about Jesus, The ACTUAL Truth.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6
Even Christianity has differing views about who Jesus really is - His attributes, His character. In my opinion, not knowing the truth about Jesus is EXTREMELY dangerous. But that's just MY opinion. One thing's for sure, your eternity depends on your getting the 'Who is Jesus' question answered correctly.
Jesus wrote letters to seven churches in the Book of Revelation. Each church had a flaw or two. The church in Laodicea was neither 'hot nor cold,' The Ephesian church had 'forgotten their first love.' Only the church in Philadelphia got God's seal of approval.
“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:32
Always seek the truth in everything you do. It truly WILL set you free.
