What Is Truth? Jesus Calls Us To Decide

For God so loved the world that he gave his only son. He did not come into the world to condemn the world, to point the finger at you. He came to save you. How does that make you feel? It's not me working for salvation. He saved me. That's easy. But he's not just called savior. He's also called lord. That's inconvenient. Because to call him Lord means you gotta give up control.

Truth is a person. It's someone you get to know. And if you've been married longer than five minutes, you'll know this, friends, that it takes a while to get to know something about my wife two weeks ago that was brand new information for our household after thirty years of marriage. How could that be after thirty years? And we're like, what? How do we never know this? She's like, I know. You imagine trying to get to know the omnipotent or perfect one. You gotta hang around long enough. Because the thing about truth is this, as we close, is that truth demands a decision. [01:17:43] (37 seconds)  #GetToKnowTruth

If he's not lord, don't forgive. But if he is lord, Jesus says this in scripture, if you do not forgive those who've offended you, then the father in heaven cannot forgive you. That's in the bible, friends. Now you can live like he's a savior and get all the feely, good feely things, but when you say he's lord, you realize, I I just have to forgive. I've just gotta be a generous person. [01:06:21] (30 seconds)  #ForgiveAsLordCommands

Church, truth is not determined by public consensus or emotion. Sometimes we can we can be so caught up in in issue, the emotions of a moment that the emotions can cloud true judgment. I remember being a child and and praying passionately a prayer that I really believed that God would answer. I would get on my knees next to the bed. I probably was in year four in in primary school, you know, so old enough to know. And I'd get on my knees and say, Lord Jesus, if you absolutely love me, then please help miss Scarlet marry me.

You're actually free from striving because your worth is not in your bank balance, friends. Your worth is in what Jesus has done for you. So the question is this, is what is truth? What will you do with it? Jesus puts it this way as we close. Revelation three twenty, he says, here I am. I stand at the door and I knock. Anyone who hears my voice and opens the door will come in, and I will eat that person with that person and they with me. I must be hungry. Sorry, guys. I will eat with that person and they with me.

Truth is not an abstract concept. To be debated, truth is knocking at the door. I mean, think about Deliveroo. Hi. Can I have a chicken boona? Polar rice. Naan bread, please. How long? Twenty minutes. Thank you. Oh, you do it on your app, don't you, these days? I guess none of you have ever opened the door to a Deliveroo driver and said, thank you. Would you like to come in and join me? That'd be weird, They'd freak out. [01:21:01] (37 seconds)  #TruthIsKnockingAtDoor

And the problem with churches and and and Christians who hop churches and and and don't embed and don't go on the journey is is what happens is this, is we don't end up hanging around long enough to know truth. So it'd be easy for us today in a sound bite to say, oh, I know what Glenn thinks about multiculturalism, or I know what Glenn thinks about Israel and Gaza. You don't really know it all. You gotta hang around. Yeah. Truth is a person. It's someone you get to know. [01:17:18] (28 seconds)  #HangAroundForTruth

I mean, sure. I'm thankful, but but let's just make the focus on me and you for a second. Jesus is your savior. He loves you so much. He said, I love you this much. He he left the perfection of heaven, and he came to earth to die to save you from your sins and eternity. That should make you feel good. That that should put a smile on your face in the morning. That should put a spring in your step. He's my savior. [01:04:53] (28 seconds)  #JesusIsMySavior
