Jesus Christ was standing before the...

If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

Christ Jesus witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate.
John 8:46; 1 Timothy 6:13.

Jesus Christ was standing before the supreme authority in the state and there confessed freely His true identity and His mission. He told nothing but the truth, although it meant the death sentence for Him.

Let us compare that with just one example of many sad discoveries in recent years. A well-known politician finally admitted to being involved in dubious activities for a foreign secret service after constant denials. The shock and disappointment among his party friends hit him hard. None of the unfortunate man's acquaintances appeared at the press conference to support him.

The man had not had the courage to refuse or break off those illegal relations. Nor did he have the strength to own up and face the consequences. He wouldn't even come clean with his family. Then he was suddenly faced with an uncertain fate.

Why do we mention such an appalling case? Because everyone needs to put an end to his old life - life lived apart from God in self-will - and confess his sins to God. Whoever continues trying to hide things from our omniscient God must take the consequences in all eternity.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, deserves our trust. He never lied. All His sayings were reliable, including His offer to save everyone who comes to Him from eternal perdition. Why not take advantage of it, whatever your own situation may be like?

Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 9:1-44 Â· Psalms 83:1-9

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
