Live in Christ, live in truth
Monday after Christmas Octave
1 Jn 2:22-28; Jn 1: 19-28
John warns people against confusing what is truth and what is false! He says, if we have to know for sure that we are in truth, then we have to live in Christ. We need not wait to be told, because our anointing, our being in Christ, will itself reveal the truth to us. It did, to John the Baptist. When he had an ample opportunity to enjoy a bit of glory and adulation among the people who would have accepted him to be the Christ, he made it point blank that he was not the messiah! John knew the truth and stood for it.
Knowing the truth, believing in it and living on it are the signs of living in Christ. We have just begun a new year and we might be fresh with a lot of resolutions yet - why not think of this living in Christ and living in truth!
