Truth

John 18

37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate.
Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

38a"What is truth?" Pilate asked.

The answer to Pilate’s question is so simple, yet so many people find it inconceivable. Jesus IS Truth. Period. Not until we are convinced of this fact can we even being to try to make sense out of anything in this life. I praise God for opening my eyes, opening my mind, and opening my heart to the Truth that is Jesus. Everything else is foolishness and rubbish!

Truth

John 18

33 Then Pilate went back into his headquarters and called for Jesus to be brought to him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked him.
34 Jesus replied, “Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?”
35 “Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their leading priests brought you to me for trial. Why? What have you done?”
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”
37 Pilate said, “So you are a king?”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked.

“What is truth?” Jesus is the Truth. Jesus is the Way. Jesus is the Life. In a world desperately seeking truth in all the wrong places, it is our responsibilities to teach the Truth in Love so that those seeking may have everlasting Life. Who will you reach today?

Get The Facts

Leviticus 12
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. 2 If a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her menstrual period. 3 On the eighth day the boy’s foreskin must be circumcised. 4 After waiting thirty-three days, she will be purified from the bleeding of childbirth. During this time of purification, she must not touch anything that is set apart as holy. And she must not enter the sanctuary until her time of purification is over.
6 “When the time of purification is completed for either a son or a daughter, the woman must bring a one-year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or turtledove for a purification offering. She must bring her offerings to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
8 “If a woman cannot afford to bring a lamb, she must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One will be for the burnt offering and the other for the purification offering. The priest will sacrifice them to purify her, and she will be ceremonially clean.”

To all those who continue to erroneously place the Magi in the Manger Scene at Christmas, I say, read this passage from Leviticus 12 again, and then read in Luke 2 about the sacrifice offered by Mary & Joseph when they presented Jesus at the Temple. No, the Magi did NOT visit Mary & Joseph in the manger on the day Christ was born!
