Today’s Devotional
In this passage, Jesus is speaking to the Jews who believed in Him, emphasizing the importance of knowing and abiding in the truth. The truth He speaks of is not only the knowledge of His teachings but also the acceptance of Him as the Son of God and the embodiment of truth itself.
When we come to know the truth in Jesus Christ, we experience freedom from the bondage of sin, fear, and condemnation. This freedom allows us to live a life of joy and peace, no longer held captive by the lies and deception of the world.
