TOPIC: The Manifestation Of Truth (Rhapsody of Realities 29 September 2024)

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever (2 John 1:1-2).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

If you’d read the entire second epistle of John you’d observe something in the first four verses: the word “truth” is emphasized repeatedly with a total of five mentions. Clearly, there’s a significance to this. Then in his third epistle, he continues with the same emphasis on “the truth.” Why so much emphasis on “the truth”?

In John 18:37, Jesus told Pilate that He came to bear witness to the truth, and everyone that is of the truth hears His voice. Pilate then asked Him, “What is truth?” John must have really pondered the answer. He must have recalled what Jesus said in the fourteenth chapter, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6). He also would have recalled Jesus’ prayer to the Father in John 17, when He said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17).

So, John wasn’t merely captivated, intrigued or enthused by truth; he embraced it fully. He related and fellowshipped with “the Truth.” In 1 John 1:1-2, he talked about seeing and handling the Word of life, and the Word is truth!

So, when Jesus walked the earth, He embodied God’s truth. He was the manifestation of truth, the will of the Father unveiled to us. If you ever wanted to know the will of God, look at Jesus. If it’s true that Jesus was the manifestation of the truth, what does that make you? Paul, in 2 Corinthians 4:2, said something profound about himself and his companions, declaring that by the manifestation of the truth they commended themselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

What Paul was saying in essence is, “This is our life—we’re the manifestation of the truth.” Yes; you are! You were born to express the will of the Father to the world. This is God’s vision and plan for you. Your life and your everyday walk is the manifestation of the truth. This is how He sees you, and this is the life that you must live. When you wake up every day, declare, “I’m the manifestation of the truth. I’m the manifestation of the will of God.” Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

I’m the manifestation of the will of the Father; I live each day in alignment with God’s truth and my life reflects the glory and realities of the Kingdom of God. I’m born of God’s truth and uphold truth in every circumstance and situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
