You Can Find Truth
January 18, 2022
"In our world, the idea of ultimate truth — something that is true at all times in all places and has relevance for our lives — is about as extinct as the dinosaur,"[1] points out Lindy Keffer. But Jesus Christ talked about truth and claimed that He was "the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6). What's more, He said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!" (John 8:32). But what is this truth and how can we come to know it, as Jesus said was possible? Jesus' own words and Scripture say this: ultimate truth exists, and God's spirit leads seekers into the Truth.

When he was a toddler, my son did not do well with goodbyes. He loved nothing more than to be surrounded by a crush of family and he'd cry mournfully when grandma and grandpa, or the cousins drove away, after a visit.

When Paul wrote to the Romans he said that those who embrace Jesus in their lives become transformed. Have you noticed how very few transformations in nature are instantaneous? The growth of a flower bud into fruit is a process that takes time. Even a caterpillar inside its cocoon turns to goop before it's transformed.

It's easy to see the problems in another person, but we don't always recognize our own shortcomings. When someone criticizes you, do you usually write it off as jealousy? Or maybe you're prone to strike back with sharp words. It's always better to first consider some ways in which you may be able to benefit from critique.

I recently enjoyed watching an online show about a fictitious Orthodox Jewish family living in Jerusalem. It was interesting to hear young, engaged couples expressing their desire to establish they what they called a righteous Jewish home. You don't hear that word righteous much these days.

You won't go far in this life without coming up against hatred. But, if you know that you're loved, you will be less likely to be derailed by it. The apostle Paul achieved that sense of confidence in the face of hostility because he was secure in his relationship with God.

Charles Spurgeon was a famous preacher and Bible teacher of the 1800s. But his wife, Mrs. C.H. Spurgeon, or Susie, had a powerful ministry of encouragement long after her husband's death. Susie's life was one of great physical suffering, but she encouraged others in their discouragement from her vibrant relationship with Jesus.

The first time it happened was awful. It was New Year's Eve and Beth's college-aged son had been driving drunk. When he hit the car of a husband and wife returning home from festivities, the woman was expecting a baby and had to be hospitalized. Beth's heart was broken again sometime later, on the day her son stood in court …for a second DUI or driving under the influence charge. Beth had been praying that her son would surrender his life and his drinking, to God. It seemed her prayer wasn't being answered.

Can you remember naptime in kindergarten? After lunch, each child in the class had a blanket from home that they dutifully unrolled on the floor; we were then expected to sleep for a half hour. But I had no intention of sleeping. I hated naps! There were too many things to discover and too much fun to be had, to sleep.

One of my friends shared with me what she had imagined her adult life would be when she was a child. She'd had grand plans—an illustrious career that enabled her to be a gift to society, so everyone would praise her. She'd have a family of perfect individuals or be contentedly independent. She'd be surrounded by beautiful possessions but would have such a peaceful and humble spirit that she barely noticed them.

Of all the women and men of the Bible, Jacob can seem like a strange person for God to associate Himself with. "The God of Jacob" is a frequent title used for the God of the Bible, and Jacob is referenced 22 times in scripture.
