Know The Truth And The Truth Will Set You Free

Know the truth and the truth will set you free

John 8: 31-32 Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him: "If you continue in my word, then you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free."

If the context of these words is told, Jesus went to the temple again in the early days; All the people came to him; While he was sitting and teaching them, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and stood her in the middle and said to him, Master, this woman has been caught in adultery. Moses commanded us in the law to stone such people; What do you say about her? This was to test him so that he might have something to accuse him of. Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. While they were questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let he who is without sin among you cast the first stone at her." Again he bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. And when they heard it, they departed one by one, both the elder and the younger, on account of their conscience; Only Jesus and the woman standing in the middle remained. Jesus straightened up and said to her: “Woman, where are they? "Didn't anyone punish you?" She said, "No, Lord." “Neither do I condemn thee; "Go, sin no more," Jesus said. He spoke this word in the treasury when he was teaching in the temple; As he continued to speak like this, many believed in him.

Our motto is the words spoken by the Lord to these believers. Know the truth and the truth will set you free. We can hear these words like a proverb used by many people. Some of the sayings of the Lord are very famous and are used by many people. Commonly heard or politicians often borrow the words of the Lord. Some such words are let the sinless one cast stones. Those are the words from this chapter. What is Caesar's is Caesar's. Where your treasure is, let your heart be. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? A similar phrase used is know the truth and the truth will set you free. Although the Lord has not been accepted as a savior by these people, they use the words of the Lord. Even if they don't want Jesus, they want the words of Jesus.

Here are the words of the Lord to the believers. But these are not disciples of the Lord. The Lord wants disciples, not believers. Look at the last commandment of the Lord Matthew 28: the last words 18-20 Jesus approached: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; I am with you always until the end of the world. Three types of people walked with Jesus. 1 crowd, 2 believers, 3 disciples. The multitudes are rushing to see the miracle, to see if they can find any fault in what Jesus is saying. Those who believed, those who saw the miracle that Jesus did and understood something unusual about it, believed in Jesus. How do they believe? You don't have to hear the word to believe, you just have to see the miracle. But when a problem comes, when there is an adversity in life, and when that adversity does not see an end, you know how deep the faith is. If we look around us, there are so many lives of people who once believed in Jesus and then turned away when there was an adversity in their life. That is where the word is relevant. It is not enough to see the miracle, but to know the truth. How can we know what is truth? In the Lord's own words, Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him: "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." How to know the truth. When you know the Word. How to know the word.

How to know the word. Listen to the words of the Lord himself Luke 8:4-8 When a large crowd and those who came to him from every town gathered together, he spoke a parable: "The sower went out to sow seed. When sowing, some fell by the wayside and were trampled, and the birds of the air ate it up. Others fell on the rock and sprouted and dried up because they were not wet. Others fell among thorns; It sprung up with a thorn and crushed it. Others fell on good ground and sprouted and bore a hundred fruits.” Having said this, he called out: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." In this parable, the Lord is saying that something fell by the wayside, and because it did not go into the soil, someone trampled it, and the birds ate the rest. Some fell on the rock trying to root a hard place but could not take root in the soil and dried up. Others fell among the thorn, and the thorn sprung up and crushed it. Could not go deep into the soil. But some seeds fell on good ground, on loose soil, and the roots of the seed went down into the soil and bore fruit.
