”and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.“ John‬ ‭8‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬. One of the problems when we read these words of Jesus is that we tend to limit them. We fail to see how far reaching they are into every area of our lives. Usually, we think of how He saves us and frees us from the guilt and eternal punishment of sin, and we are thankful. But the freedom Jesus speaks of here goes so much further than we imagine. And it is all based on knowing the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. For instance, many believers struggle at times because of fear and worry. But how different it is when we know the truth that Jesus holds all of our tomorrows in His hands and He promises to work all things for good for those who love him. Or when we grasp the truth that no weapon formed against us will prosper because He is our Shield and Protector. In this unstable world so filled with uncertainty about the future, what a difference it makes when we rest our souls on the truth of Who Jesus is and what He promises to do. Let us anchor our souls on the truth that He is our Almighty and Sovereign God Who is weaving all of the diverse threads of our lives into a beautiful tapestry that will bring glory and honor to Him. Only as we come to know in personal experience the truth as it is in Jesus can our souls be free.
