Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him:
« If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. »(John 8:31-32)
Indeed, our Lord Jesus closely links the following three things: his teaching, the truth and freedom.
1.His teaching:
Jesus teached the word of God.
If we want to know the word of God, we must look for it nowhere else but in Jesus.
« The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. »(John 1:14)
2.The truth:
The truth comes from the Word of God(the teachings of Jesus).
So what does Jesus tell us?
« I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. »(John 14:6)
If we want to know the truth, we must seek it in the teachings of Jesus.
To seek the truth outside the teachings of Jesus is to deceive oneself and expose oneself to the risk of falling into slavery to the lies of Satan and evil.
3.Freedom:
Freedom comes from the Truth received from the teachings of Jesus. The truth that Jesus is our savior and that his work on the cross set us free from the law and brought us under grace sets us free.
In reality, as long as man has not yet known the truth about himself and about Jesus, he remains in bondage and a victim of the lies of Satan and the world of darkness.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to always seek to know the truth.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
