Today's Scripture *March 12, 2009*
2 John 1: 3-4
Grace, mercy, and peace, which come from God the Father and from Jesus Christ—the Son of the Father—will continue to be with us who live in truth and love. How happy I was to meet some of your children and find them living according to the truth, just as the Father commanded.
The "truth" is the truth about Jesus Christ, as opposed to the lies of the false teachers (1 John 2: 21-23 So I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.Anyone who denies the Son doesn't have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. ).
John refers to the truth five times in the first four verses of this brief letter. In contrast to so many in our culture who dogmatically deny truth ("There are no ultimate realities") or absurdly define it according to personal preference ("Your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth"). John declared the existence of Absolute. God is that Ultimate Standard by which all else can be judged. God is True, His Words, and Ways are True, and whatever or whoever contradicts or opposes Him is false, deceptive, and dangerous. Christian leaders, teachers, and parents must engage now in the difficult but critical battle for truth. To paraphrase a familiar saying: "All that is required for deception to triumph is for the people of the truth to do nothing". Begin an intentional campaign to teach those under your care how to distinguish between truth and error.
Lord, You are Truth! Your ways are Truth! Your Word is Truth!
Help us to live in that Truth! To follow Your ways! To live as children of that Truth!
May we influence others in our lives according to Your Truth, so that they too might live and walk in Your ways.
We worship You, O God. In Your Name, Amen..
Be Blessed!
In His Service,
April
