While studying recently, my thoughts were on something Jesus said and what Pilate asked, Jesus said in John 18:37 (NKJ)..."that I might bear witness to the TRUTH. Everyone who is of the TRUTH hears My voice." In verse 38 Pilate asks Jesus "What is TRUTH?" As I went to other translations, I found that Pilate could be translated as asking "Who is TRUTH?" The point for me was that we all, like Pilate, must make a decision! Jesus says "I am the way, the TRUTH and the life." For us as believers, Jesus is the Way we have searched for, the TRUTH we have sought for and the Life we long for! Love is really not what we are looking for, but Who we are looking for!!! This perspective changes us...Jesus is TRUTH...He is LOVE...(1 John 4:8). We are to walk in this TRUTH and this LOVE as disciples of the Lord. (Ephesians 5:2). Jesus imparts to us this ability to walk in LOVE through our spirit, not through our emotions! As we continue to "seek, ask and knock" may we realize that even though LOVE can be deeply emotional, it isn't an emotion, but a spiritual REALITY that is deeply imparted into us!
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t
