THE TRUTH

By Rick Mathes

John 14:6 (NASB77) ⁶  Jesus •said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.

To tell you the truth, your health or lack of it is entirely in the hands of the Lord and He will use wither to further His efforts to restore you to His image and likeness. His only interest in you is for you to worship and enjoy fellowship with Him and He will use all the means possible to accomplish His only desire for you.

He can use wealth or poverty for your existence. This includes fame or infamy. It makes absolutely no difference. Jesus is a jealous God and will not let anything stand in His way of looking up instead of out for approval and applause.

There is no truth unless it conforms to the name of Jesus: Jesus, Jesus , Jesus, there’s just something about that name.

The learning curve includes the earnings one receives from letting the Holy Spirit expand and exploded the Word of God to your understanding. A worm turns into a butterfly, black and white turns into living color, you were blind and now you see: this is the yield on your investment in Bible study. The mind is a terrible thing to waste!

Your knowledge of the Word brings you into direct conflict with the culture you are raised in or have made your lifestyle conform to. The battle begins when the light or rather enlightenment illuminates the wasteland of ignorance you too often cling to in defense of your obstinacy and dogged determination to remain Satan’s clutches on sin and its counterfeit enjoyments.

Your unsaved friends, those hell-bound hounds of deprivation gnaw on you like a bone until you are stripped of all your true friends which are ony found in the Church of God. There is no such thing as objective truth apart from Jesus. He is certainly the only Way, Truth and the Life.
