The Truth Will Set You Free

 How many times in your life have you searched for the truth and come up short?  Why do we have to sort through so many lies in order to find the truth?  I have a simple answer yet it lies beyond human reach.  The Father of Lies is in charge of this world.  We are mere captives and the ship is sinking.  Good luck finding the truth.  It's a buried treasure and the Evil One isn't passing out shovels.  Blindness is the game of the 21st century.  The Dark Side can hide the truth, bend the truth, and disguise the truth like no other.  You may think the blame rests with others but it's not really their fault.  Most have simply been blinded and they refuse to admit they are wrong or that they could be wrong.  

If you were in charge of this world and you wanted to hide the truth from the world, how would you do it?  The flip side of the question is this..."If you wanted to expose the truth, how would you do it?"  Ponder these questions for a moment and let's compare notes.  

There was a gathering of Jews who believed Jesus was the Messiah.  The Gospel writer, John, was there to witness what Jesus said to them and he shared it for all to see who are seeking the truth... The truth will set you free (John 8:32).  John also tells us what Jesus had to say about truth... "I am the truth" (John 14:6).  Boom.  Mic drop moment.  The proof of this is Easter Sunday.  The truth came back from the dead.  The truth is risen.  The truth is all around you.  And yes, the truth will set you free.  Have a great day.
