“The day will come when you will know the truth you see and hear today; when that moment comes, this very truth will set you free.” John 8:32 EFP
This has become one of my most memorable passages of Scripture. It is a classic verse. I had read and heard it many times before that day it came alive as never before during one of the darkest periods of my life. Jesus is there. He has always been there. I had heard sermons and read books about him. I had memorized Bible studies to share with others. But my life was still captive, struggling to escape from the slavery to which I had accepted as the norm.
The day finally arrived when the truth made itself known to me, which allowed me to come to grips about me. That allowed me to open the hidden places and expose the lies and contradictions I had accepted as inescapable realities in my life. I tasted freedom for the first time in my adult life. The Truth set me free. The truth about him exposed the truth about me which freed me to share that truth with someone else. Satan works in the darkness that accompanies deceit and fear. He cannot withstand the light. Thank you, Jesus!
