Who is the liar?

 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. – 1 John 2.22-23

 

Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?

 

That’s sad, but what is really sad is that the vast majority of the world denies that Jesus is the Christ. The longer we go and the worse things get the more determined the world seems to deny Jesus.

 

Why then are we so often so consumed with the liars instead of the truth? We know the world is full of lies and liars but we can act like we are all surprised that liars lie – it is their nature. It is what they do.

 

We hear a lot about fake news and false stories and we have fact checkers, but is there anyone we can really trust? If they deny Christ they are in fact liars and the world certainly wants us, expects, and now demands that we listen to their lies. The lies of a Christ denying world only become more and more absurd. I am not going to post publicly but think about all the lies that we hear every day. God’s plans for His creation and perfect design are mocked and laughed at an in some places one can go to jail even for expressing them. And still, despite that, too many of us are enamoured of the world.

 

We have no hope there with the lies of the world. Our only hope is in God’s truth.
