Truth

John 8:43-44 – Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Genesis 3:4 – “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.

John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Application:

• ·         The problem with Jesus’ Jewish opponents was basically spiritual, not intellectual. “Truth” is foreign to Satan and those who are his.
• ·         “You will not certainly die” was the blatant denial of a specific divine pronouncement.
• ·         Jesus is not one way among many but the only way.
