June 11 - 1 John 2:20-23. Truth
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
You know the truth.
I hate that. Sometimes it is so much easier to admit to ignorance than it is to admit to sin. But, here’s the deal. We know the truth. Even if we haven’t read the Bible, we know what is right to do and what is wrong to do.
We know the truth.
C.S. Lewis’ famous trilemma stated that Jesus Christ couldn’t be a prophet or simply a good man. He said too much about himself in the Gospels. He was either a lunatic, a liar or the Lord. Jesus didn’t leave much to our interpretation regarding His time on earth.
John clearly states here that if you deny that he is the Christ … the Messiah … the Lord, that makes you a liar.
You know the truth.
