Just
like everyone else, Christians have years and years of life experiences that shape
and affect us. This can lead us to take sides when it comes to the issues of
the day. That is a natural reaction. It is part of being human. None of us is
completely objective in our view of things.
However,
Christians live for and serve the God who is truth (John 14:6). So, when it
comes to which “side” we are on, our calling and our objective is to be on the
side of truth. We want the truth to prevail.
If you
are a Christian and you say, “I don’t care about truth, I don’t care about
facts, I simply want a particular outcome that supports my ‘side’ of the
matter.” Then you are having trouble understanding the identity of Jesus and
what it means to be His disciple.
Prayer:
Lord, we pray that truth would be told. And we pray that all who claim Jesus as
Lord would love, desire and appreciate the truth even if the truth is not what
we wanted to hear.
