Truth that frees

Wednesday of the 6th week of Eastertide

John 16:12-15 

Truth may be as simple as ABC.  However, in practice it isn't, especially if a person started a pattern of lies since childhood.  Lies translate to philosophies that bring havoc to orientations of life for example, "Money is the source of happiness."

The readings offer a truth that comes from the resurrection of the Lord. Furthermore, Jesus orients us to the Holy Spirit, our guide to the truth.  So, how do we live in the truth?

First, "The truth shall set us free." Start living a life of honesty.  Stop cheating.  By knowing where we stand, we shall know who we really are and move from there.

Second, know the Lord.  God, even from the creation of the world, continues to be a God or order.  Moreso, Jesus is the only One who resurrected from the dead.  His whole life is a testimony of rising from deaths.  

Third, give witness to the Resurrection.  We have a mission to fulfill: to bring hope to those in despair.  Translate the resurrection in concrete action each day and give life to the lifeless.  

Give witness to Jesus today.
