holding on to the truth

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

Jesus said “I am the truth.” Truth is often seen as a concept. We read about it in books. Documentaries are made about historical truth and other truths. Lectures and sermons are given that have been built on truth. All of that can be compiled in to libraries and media centers with almost no.

But Jesus said “I am the truth.” With that phrase truth is seen or known as a person. Truth is personified. Trust was or is living and breathing, and as Christians we have come to know that reality. Living out the truth or with the truth means that we have chosen to follow Jesus on a daily basis.

No, following the truth isn’t always easy, but following and holding tight to truth is always right. Take some time to hold on to truth, to explore truth, to think about truth and to get to know the truth.

John 8:32 NLT

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Knowing Jesus, the truth, sets us free.

Psalm 25:5 NLT

Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

God leads us to Jesus, His son who is the truth, and we place our hope in Him.

Psalm 119:160 NLT

The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.

He is truth. He is essence of truth. The word is truth, and Jesus is the truth.

John 1:14 NLT

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.

He is truth. God gives us His word which we mistake for words on a page when He intended for the word to live in us and through us.

3 John 1:4 NLT

I could have no greater joy than to hear that my children are following the truth.

Following Jesus, the truth.

John 17:17 NLT

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
