The Truth

Mini series – Part 2)

Jesus said “I Am the Truth.”


John 14:6


Today's Bible Reading: John 17:1-5.


In John 14:6, Jesus declared Himself as "The Truth." It is important for us to remember, that this is not what people said of the Lord, it is a statement the Lord said concerning Himself.


Today, I want to look at what it means for the Lord Jesus to be "The Truth."


First, when the Lord Jesus said, “I Am the Truth," He was declaring that He is the embodiment of truth. In a world where truth is often distorted or hidden, Jesus is the ultimate source of truth. He is not just one of many voices in the crowd; He is the only one who speaks the truth. Everything that Jesus said is true, and everything He does is right.


Secondly, Jesus is The Truth that sets us free. In John 8:32, Jesus says, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." When we come to know Christ, we are set free from the lies and deceptions of the world. We no longer have to be enslaved by the opinions of others or by the false narratives that society tells us. Jesus sets us free by revealing the truth to us.


Thirdly, Jesus is The Truth that brings us into a relationship with God. In John 17:3, Jesus says, "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Jesus came to reveal the truth about who God is and to bring us into a personal relationship with Him. Through Christ, we can know God and experience His love and saving grace.


Fourthly, the Lord Jesus is The Truth that transforms us. In John 15:5, Jesus says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." When we abide in Jesus, we are transformed by His truth. He changes us from the inside out and enables us to bear fruit that glorifies God.


Jesus Christ is "The Truth." He is the ultimate source of truth, the truth that sets us free, the truth that brings us into a relationship with God, and the truth that transforms us. As we follow Jesus, let us seek to know Him more deeply and to live in the light of His truth.



Prayer: Great and Mighty Father God, I pray that you would help me to always seek the truth that is found in Jesus, and that you would give me the wisdom and discernment to recognise and reject the lies of this world. In His name. Amen.

The Way

"Jesus said “I Am the Way.”


John 14:6


Today's Bible Reading: John 14:1-6.


Today, we begin a four day mini-series on the statement the Lord Jesus made in John's gospel account, chapter 14 and verse 6. This statement is one of the most profound and significant claims that Jesus made about Himself, and it has tremendous implications for us as His followers.


In the context of John 14, the Lord is speaking to His disciples just before His crucifixion. He tells them that He is going to prepare a place for them in His Father's house and that they know the way to where He is going. But Thomas responds, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" (John 14:5). It is in response to this question that Jesus makes His famous declaration: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).


What does it mean for Jesus to be "The Way"?

First, of all, it means that Jesus is the only way to God. In a world where there are so many different paths and religions claiming to lead to God, Jesus is the only way that leads to the Father. He is not just a guide or a wise teacher; He is the path itself. Jesus is the way that we must follow if we want to know God and be reconciled to Him.


Second, Jesus is the way to eternal life. In John 10:10, Jesus says, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Jesus does not just offer us a better life in this world; He offers us eternal life in the world to come. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made a way for us to have eternal life with Him in heaven. He is the way that leads to everlasting joy and fulfilment.


Third, Jesus is the way to true happiness and fulfilment. In a world where people are constantly searching for meaning and purpose, Christ Jesus offers us direction. He is not just a way to live; He is the way to life. Through His teachings and example, Jesus shows us how to live a life that is pleasing to God and fulfilling for ourselves. He is the way that leads to true contentment and satisfaction.


As we follow Him, we can trust that we are on the right path and that He will guide us every step of the way. Let us follow Jesus, the Way, with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and let us share His love and truth with others. May God bless us all.



Prayer: Great and Mighty Father God, I pray that you would help me to always seek the truth that is found in Jesus, and that you would give me the wisdom and discernment to recognise and reject the lies of this world. In His name. Amen.

Healing For The Brokenhearted

"He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted."

Isaiah 61:1


Today's Bible Reading: Isaiah 61:1-3.


The book of Isaiah, is the longest in the Old Testament after the book of Psalms. Isaiah's prophecies are often quoted in the New Testament as having been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Some Bible scholars even refer to Isaiah as the “fifth gospel.” The book of Isaiah is quoted or alluded to at least sixty-two times in the New Testament. Today’s reading was quoted by the Lord Jesus in His synagogue message at Nazareth (Luke 4:17-19) when He publicly announced His messiahship. 


The prophet Isaiah foretold the coming of the One who would bring healing for brokenness (Isaiah 61). He would “heal the broken-hearted” and “comfort all who mourn” (v 1-2). After Jesus read this Scripture in the synagogue of His home town, He said, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). The Lord Jesus came to save us and make us whole.


Are you in need of inner healing? Turn to Christ and He will give you “a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3).


Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the healing You have brought to me and many others. I look forward to complete healing in heaven one day. In Your name. Amen.
