“Sanctify
them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” John 17:17 NKJV
Pilate asked Jesus a simple
question, “What is truth?” It is asked millions of times each day. Jesus said
that two things were truth. God’s holy word, the Bible, is truth. Millions of
people stumble and fall in their lives each day by rejecting what Jesus said is
absolute truth. All who suggest that it is only partially true are wholly
calling Jesus a liar. God’s word is truth. Jesus prays that we will all live in
and by that word and let it sanctify us.
Jesus also said that He was the
Truth. He set Himself up as the exclusive means of eternal life. He said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man
comes to the Father but through Me.”
Of all the possible ways men say we can reach God, Jesus said there is
only one, and that is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He alone died for our sins
that we might be reconciled to the Father and He alone of all the world’s great
leaders, religious or political, rose again from the dead. By this He alone can
guarantee us that we too shall rise with Him unto everlasting life.
Dear
Father, Thank You for showing us the way in Your Holy Word and providing us the
Way through Your dear Son. Amen.
The
Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
