Truth Tuesday

This morning I got on the bus to head to my office and saw one of the first-year students in my program. I sat across from him and noticed that he was reading a Bible. I asked him if he was a follower of Jesus. He said yes and I responded enthusiastically that I was too. He asked what church I went to, I told him and returned the question. He replied that he went to the LDS church. He moved the conversation to another topic, but my brain was screaming STOP!

Truth.

There we were both professing to be followers of Jesus but we actually have very different views of who Jesus actually is. The truth is, I hope that I will get to tell him about the actual truth.

I know that Jesus is the Son of God.
I know that God the Father sent his Son to the earth.
I know that Jesus lived a perfect life.
I know that He died on the cross.
I know that Jesus came back to life.
I know that He is now with the Father in heaven.
I know that all of this was for me.

I don't just believe I know.
I know because this is what the Bible says.
I know because I see the works of God all around me.
I know because the Holy Spirit is in my life.

It is not fiction. It is fact. It is not a story. It is truth.
