Jesus said to His disciples: "You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, ‘Do not take a false oath..... Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one." (Matthew 5: 33, 37).
Pilate when he heard that Jesus came to bear witness to the truth, asked Him: "What is truth?" (John 18: 37 - 38).
Truth is under attack everywhere today. Why does this matter? Jesus calls the Devil, the enemy of mankind "the Father of lies." (John 8: 44). As we celebrate Father's Day this weekend, we need to do some soul searching on our commitment to truth.
"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." (Exodus 20: 16). Although Pilate was fully aware that the Jewish leaders bore false witness against Jesus, he still condemned Jesus to death for political correctness.
How do you respond to false statements in the political domain? Could your response affect the perception and integrity of truth by your family?
"Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one." (Matthew 5: 37).
