Face to Face With Jesus - a Lenten MeditationSample

Jesus stood before Pilate who was determined to not get too involved in His sentencing. When cross-questioning Jesus he asked Him if He was a King and Jesus replied by saying that he came to the earth to testify to the truth and that everyone who was on the side of truth would listen to Him. Pilate in retort says “What is truth?” If each of us were asked that same question imagine the variety of answers we get. We live in a world of no absolutes. Nothing is black and white because grey feels safer. The truth has gotten diluted and foggy because of a murky culture with ever-changing realities. The truth though is a person. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. On knowing Jesus personally, he begins to transform the various parts of our life and bring them into union with Him. This union is so intimate and organic, that we start to think like Jesus, we start to act like Him and we start to see others like Him. We are never the same - all because the truth has set us free to really live!

To live a life of wholeness, integrity and influence right where God has placed you.

Questions to ask yourself

Am I being honest before God?

Is the truth of His word shaping my life or is culture shaping my life?
