Devotional TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, 2010 Day 4
Personal Revolution
The personal revolution of becoming a Christian has always been the only basis of true freedom and real change. Though the truths of God’s Word and His kingdom are eternal and unchanging, they are continually made new to every person who encounters them. Throughout history great change has only been made by those hungriest for Truth and those not content to simply follow the beliefs of others, but who instead demand the genuine revelation of coming to know God personally. Those who will accept no less than that are the ones who become world changers.
The rock that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16 (that we read yesterday), was the revelation of Jesus as the Christ that Peter expressed: Jesus as God’s anointed Son, and Jesus as one’s personal Lord and Saviour. It is upon that rock that Jesus has always built his church. And it is without this revelation that people are led astray, even people of the established church, who seek power and position because they don’t know the wealth that exists in the Truth of the Gospel.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me.” “And what is truth?” Pilate asked. Then Pilate went back outside to the people and said to them, “I cannot find any reason to condemn him.” John 18:37-38
In this exchange is the summary of preaching the Gospel to the blind world.
“Here is the Truth, right in front of you!”
“What truth?”
Those who would be blind don’t see it. Yet those who hunger for truth will. Many don’t know they are hungry for it. Others have searched their whole lives for it and never find it until someone exposes them to it. But that is always the exchange: Those who know the truth must share it with others; those who don’t know it have to decide whether or not they will receive it. If they will receive it, then God will reveal it to their hearts if they will hunger and thirst for it.
Why is Truth so elusive? Because Truth is not a list of beliefs or statements or mathematical formulas that can simply be memorized. It is not a philosophical system or the end of a journey where you can arrive and then be done. Truth is a Person – Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Dear God – Help us all to come to know the Truth, you Jesus. Help us to come to know you and to the realization that you are real! If we already know you Jesus, help us to share the Truth!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
