THEME: THE TRUTH DWELLS IN US
For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever (2 John 1:2).
John discovered Jesus in a way that most others never did. He saw something about the Word of God that was unique. He alone shares with us in his gospel writing, โAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truthโ (John 1:14).
John understood it because he was there when Jesus taught them and said, โ...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by meโ (John 14:6). He heard Jesus say, โI am the truth.โ And so, when Jesus, in His prayer to the Father, said, โ...thy word is truthโ (John 17:17), John was able to put it together: The Word is Truth, and the Truth became flesh.Jesus was more than a man, more than a prophet, and more than a Rabbi; He was God's Truth โGod in the flesh. What is truth? Truth is reality โabsolute reality. Everything else fades away, but the Truth of God dwells in us, and shall be with us forever (2 John 1:2).
Once this reality settles in your heart, youโll realize there's nothing you canโt have and nothing you can't do, because the Truth dwells in you, and this Truth โthe Word of Truthโ created everything, including you: โOf his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creaturesโ (James 1:18). Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word. Your Word is Truth, and I walk in truth, because Iโm one with the Truth. Your Word confirms my prosperity, divine health, victory, dominion and glorious life in Christ. I make progress from glory to glory as I walk in your truth, established in righteousness, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
