John 8:  ³² Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John reports much of the conversation between Jesus and the doubters.  I don't think that is emphasized as much in the other Gospels.  Jesus is trying to make them see that he is the way, the truth, and the light, but they keep looking for reasons to disbelieve.

I like the verse, partly b/c it evokes memories of MLK and the civil rights struggle.  Isn't this statement so true of that or any other case of discrimination?  If people would see the truth about Jesus and ALL his people, they would be free.  They could stop the hating and the judging and do all Jesus asked of them.

Jesus's way IS the only way.

Prayer:  Lord, show me Your truth.  I want to be free to represent You to everyone I meet.
Amen
