What is Truth?

The other day, when I wrote about the rapture, I thought that there would be, a lot of controversy, and there wasn’t, not yet anyway. Either I was the last one, to figure this out, or the general population of the readers, simply doesn’t care. However, I really don’t think that is right, because I believe that, the readers know the truth, when they see it.

I find the conversation between Jesus, and Pontius Pilate very interesting. Pilate was looking Jesus in the eye, and asks Him this question. “What is truth?” The Bible says that after this, he went out to the Jews, and said that he found no fault in Jesus. (John18:38)    Have you ever wondered, what made Pilate find no fault in Jesus? Pilate was Roman Governor who was only in Jerusalem, to do business during the Passover.  What made him take the side of Jesus?  Why would he even care?

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

When Jesus said this He was talking to His disciples, and not Pilate. It’s strange how the more Pilate talked with Jesus, that he was becoming more, and more convinced, that there was something special about Him. I don’t know how long, that they talked, but I do know this; it was not as long as the Jews and Priest talked with Jesus. The ones that should have recognized Jesus, as the Messiah, didn’t have a clue, to who He really was.

I can’t say that, I would have recognized Jesus, as the Messiah or not. If I could have seen Him in action, and heard His teaching, I think that I might would. I am really glad to have had two-thousand years apart, and the Bible as a reference, to make sure.  Of course much gratitude goes out, to Holy Spirit, who is an excellent guide!! 

Modern day is not much different now. Many reject the need for a Lord in their life that, can guide them back to the Father. We all need to get back, to our Creator, who is Father God. The difference is light and darkness and, so many choose the darkness. We all have chosen the darkness, over the light.
I really want to show you something, from the Word, of the Living God, found in the book of Ephesians. It tells about something that, I feel is important to talk about today. It might be something that you are doing, and not aware of what the consequences might be
.
Ephesians 2:1-2  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

I am not going to assume that, everybody understands who this prince is that, this verse is talking about. I want everybody to know, that this is Satan. Satan hates human beings, whether we believe in Jesus or not. He hates us simply because, Father made us in Him own image. His only goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10:10)

What it is saying when the Bible calls him; the prince of the power, of the air is that, he controls the air waves. Every form of communication, whether it is radio, television, internet, and telephone service is beamed around, using the satellites in space. Satan is using all of the things that, we view as modern conveniences to distract us, and draw us from living life, with each other.

I see people looking at their smart phones while, they are walking, driving, and having lunch with others, in a restaurant. I saw a lady rolling thought a red light, while texting the other day. I have noticed that I don’t see children outside playing like that used to be. They had rather be glued to the television screen, either watching a program, or playing a game.   Have you noticed the violence, and great graphics, in the games today?   Can you see how that might make a child become blood thirsty, if they are off balanced, to begin with?

I know that, none of the readers would have children, which could possibly be off balanced. It could be possible to know some though. Today’s public schools, in the United States are anti-God. They teach our children that, it is ok if they want to be homosexual. They give them condoms, so nobody has to get pregnant, or spread any disease. They tell them these things, before their minds, and bodies are even ready, to handle this situation.

Then they come home, and are glued to the internet, or the television. I personally believe that Christians should monitor, and regulate both of these in a child’s life.   Don’t you?

   Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

 We as Americans are fighting, in a losing battle, if God is not our main priority, and focus in our lives. We are bombarded on every side, with the evil, which is so cleverly disguised. The events of this world, that we live in, are going exactly the way that, Jesus said that they would.

Read the twenty-fourth chapter of the book of Matthew. Then you gauge to see, how much longer that you think that, Jesus is going to put up with the world corruptness of today. Ain’t Jesus Awesome?

              …..Much Love
