Whole Truth
The verse just before our verse for today reads like this: 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. Link to Text
She told Him the whole truth. The whole truth, an excellent place to begin. Tell Him the whole truth. He knows it anyway, but honesty opens our hearts for healing.

An Everyday Choice
Every day I will—it’s a choice. Some days the choice is easier; even so, we make it. Let us practice well.

New and Renewed
I want us to first read Colossians 3:10.
10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, (link to the Text)
Now 2 Corinthians 5: 17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (link to the Text)
Can we agree that new man and new creation mean the same? Good.
This is shaping up to be another backdoor approach to the Text (if you missed yesterday’s post, click here). It seems to me from these verses that we who are in Christ are new men and new women. And from verse 10, we, the new man and new woman, from time to time need renewing. So, do we get dull or something?
But how?
And what could bring renewal to the new? Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that verse 10 says that the new man can (in a sense) become not so new if the man (or woman) does not practice learning Him who rebirthed them.
We need to keep on knowing (learning) JESUS.
And how do we do that?
Only one way I know: conversing with Him in the pages of His Word, continuously.
Which is why I keep coming day after day, year after year, to this digital screen, because I want to keep on knowing/learning Him, and I want to encourage you to keep on knowing/learning Him too.
I hope I am.
