Stay Focused!

Jesus said, "you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." He also said, "I am the Truth...." Jesus, the Word made flesh, discloses the key to being free. KNOW ME!  To "know" is to be united, joined, made one, indwelled by the Holy Spirit of God, who has promised, "never to leave, never to forsake."Paul writes to his young apprentice and says,  "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."  2Tim. 1:9-12The Truth is, Jesus saved us, called us, not because of our works! He has given "us" life! He has "appointed" (interesting) preachers, apostles, and teachers.... and because of this "cause" we suffer!NEVERTHELESS I am not ashamed, for I KNOW "WHOM" I HAVE BELIEVED!Jesus is the Truth.... believe Him! Believe He believes in You! Because that is the Truth! When people go looking for the truth in others they end up becoming blind to HIM! The Truth is found only in Him who loved us and gave His life for us! He and He alone is TRUTH! And that Truth is full of light, glory and grace  (John 1).Jesus, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Truth. There is no other! "As we continue in His word we shall know the Truth and thus we shall be free. " (John 8:31-32). May we learn to focus on He who is the Truth and nothing and no one else. Stay Focused!
