You Are of Your Father the Devil - John 8:39-47

READ JOHN 8:39-47

Jesus, you are truth. There is no deceit in you, and we can always trust you and everything you say. You will never lie to us. The truth, however, is often uncomfortable for me and reveals that I have a compromised heart. Truth is beautiful, but not always to me – I’m sorry. Thank you for holding my hand as a good father holds the hand of his distracted child. Please, Jesus, create within me a joyful, holy fear and love for you and the truth that I should be embracing. Amen

For no one would continue to plot against him if he were convinced that the one against whom he plots is God. – Origen
