Truth - in pursuit of this noble virtue

"Seek the Truth, 

Listen to the Truth, 

Teach the Truth, 

Love the Truth, 

Abide by the Truth,

Defend the Truth,

And unto death."

  - John Hus (1370 - 1415)

These were not just nice words that John Hus made up one sunny morning. They were his Credo and passion. He lived, and ultimately died, defending the Truth of Jesus.

We will be confronted by many opportunities to 'bend' the Truth or to create a 'new version' of the Truth. In the end all of these options will take us away from Christ, who is TRUTH. The choice still lies with us, but it is worth heeding the words of Hus.

John 8:32 - "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 1:17 - "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."

Experiencing peace

It seems that 'peace' is illusive for many of us, but perhaps it could be that we misunderstand that peace means the absence of trials. No matter how much we try to avoid trouble and difficult situations, they will always come our way. It is not that we are magnets for difficulties, it is just how life is. However, someone once wrote:

"Peace that Jesus gives is not the absence of trouble, but is rather the confidence that He is there with you always" -Source Unknown.

I like this. It is a promise that even when we go through the times of trouble we can still experience peace. So, that is my prayer for you today - that you would know God's peace in your heart and mind, despite what is happening around you.

John 14:27 - "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
