the truth

8:31

Then said Jesus to those which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

8:32

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

8:33

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

8:34

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

John Chapter 8 Verses 31-34

y'all know that i've never pushed religion down your throats, and neither have i professed any preference in my choice of religion. just that some things i was thinking of, and i got thinking about the truth, and how we handle it. i got carried back some twelve years and five thousand miles, to a little chapel in a catholic high school. the lights were dim, the incense was calming, the boys of the class sat there silently as Father Paul's deep baritone boomed across the vaulted arches.. ".. and the truth shall set you free.."

next time you feel a conflict building inside of you, and aren't sure what to choose.. even though the truth sounds like the harder path to follow, it usually works itself out in the end. at least, i wanna believe so!
