And You Shall Know the Truth

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

 John 8:32-32 says, "To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Notice the progression in this verse. First, we hold fast to the teaching of Jesus, then we'll be disciplined, and then we'll know the truth, and the truth will set us free. 

If we take the reciprocal of this verse, we learn that lies can bind us. When we build our lives on lies it causes us to frame the world with the wrong lens, and it takes us captive, but the truth sets free.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us know the truth so that we are set free, and to speak the truth in love to others so they can also be set free. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

The world has taught us all kinds of things about health and fitness that are not true. These things typically tell us that health and fitness has to be a miserable experience, but the yoke of Jesus is easy and his burden is light. When we learn the truth it also sets us free in our health and fitness.
