Thought for Today

Freedom and Truth

We know that all truth which exists in the presence of God must lead to the cross. The community that follows Christ must go with him to the cross. Because of their truth and freedom thy will be hated by the world. Nor can a people find truth and freedom if they do not place themselves in the judgment of God’s truth. Likewise, a people will remain in untruth and slavery until such time as they receive and continue to receive their truth and freedom from God alone, until they know that truth and freedom lead to love; indeed, until they know that the way of love leads to the cross. If a people are really able to acknowledge this today, then a free people, the only people that are not slaves to themselves, but who are free servants of God’s truth.
