Day 8: Real Disciples
Read John 8
In John 8, Jesus speaks to those beginning to believe in Him and shares a Powerful Truth: “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This simple statement carries a deep message about what it means to follow Jesus and experience Real Freedom.
Being a real disciple isn’t just about hearing Jesus’ Words—it's about holding onto them, letting them shape your everyday life. It's more than just reading the Bible occasionally or going to church on Sundays. It's a daily commitment to live according to Jesus' Teachings and let them guide your decisions and actions.
Jesus promises that when we hold to His Teachings, we will know the Truth and that Truth will set us Free. This isn’t just Freedom from the consequences of sin, but Freedom from the power of sin itself. By obeying God’s Word, we can break free from the things that hold us back—like guilt, shame, or unhealthy habits—and live in the fullness of God's Love and Purpose for our lives.
Reflection Questions:
- How can you hold more tightly to Jesus’ Teachings in your everyday life?
- Are there areas in your life where you feel stuck or trapped? How can obeying God’s Word bring Freedom in those areas?
