The Revelation of Jesus with Rick Sterling!

Something about Truth~

There is something about Truth that makes people uncomfortable. The reason for this is that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE (at one time or another) has believed a lie as if it is the truth, and when confronted with this as a fact the person then has a very difficult choice to make; to continue to believe the lie and try to live with it without a change of perspective, or change perspective based on that truth and lose friends and family because of the new belief. 

"When faced with Truth a person must either accept it, or learn to live with the idea that they are a liar."

Living with Truth is hard. Choosing to live inside of a lie kills the spirit, and hardens the soul.

The Bible is repleat with examples of this identity; Cain, Pharaoh, King Saul. Judas Iscariot, the 'apostle' Paul/Saul, to name a few. These people were directly confronted with Truth, and made the decision to ignore it, and continue to believe the lie as if it was the Truth. 

We see this identity today in the world of politics, religion, science, art, and every human endeavor. NO ONE likes the idea that they have been fooled. But a true fool is a person that continues to say, "That just can't be true" when faced with uncompromising evidence to the contrary.

Emotion is a key player in this process. When every expert, every authority figure, every friend, every loved one, believes something is true but you KNOW differently, it is almost impossible to stand up to them in the classroom, workplace or home and tell them that they are wrong, because you don't want to hurt their feelings, because you love them.

Jesus came to this earth to testify to the truth (John 18: 36-37), BECAUSE He loved us so much that He could do no other. He knew learning the truth would hurt us, but He did it anyway. Can we do less?
