Devotional Thoughts
“The Truth A\ ill Make You Free”
Time and time again people
have been heard to say: “The
truth never hurt anyone”, but
I doubt if this is true. If a per
son has done something dread
fully wrong, and it is found out,
he or she is usually upset and
often times grieved; as soon as
the person confesses the wrong
though, they usually feel better.
In John 8:31-32 we read: “If
you continue in My word, then
are you My disciples indeed;
and ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.”
Jesus is telling us here that a de
vout Christian seeks to know the
real meaning of His word and
is ready to accept the truth re
gardless of the sacrifice to us
personally. When we are not
doing what God’s word tells us
to do, we as Christians should al
so be upset and grieved to the
extent that we want to do bet
ter in the future.
In John 14:6 Jesus said: “I am
the way, the truth, and the life:
No man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.” He is telling the
sinner that He (Jesus) is the
truth, and anyone who believes
that He is the only way, can be
saved. r
All of us love the truthful per
son, one on whom we can de
pend and have faith in. We like
to work and associate with peo
ple we know we can trust.
In Romaysj 10:9 we read, “If
thou shalt cb'nfess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt hehev^^
in thine heart that God hath raised
Him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.” This is the inspired ivoid
of God and if you believe it, the
truth shah make, yea free.

Home From Korea

a tough break the last of April.
They were called home from work
because their house was on fire.
After much excitement the fire

Fortunately, most of their house

some damage to the kitchen roof.
They have recovered from the

report.
