Truth in Acknowledging the Messiah
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? …. (1John 2:22)
Fact is a knowing that something exists. Truth is when fact
becomes a perpetual reality, transcending the realm of the intellect of the
soul, piercing into the spirit of a man. It is the shedding of God’s light at
the spirit level that it becomes revelation. It is one thing to intellectually
grasp that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah, He is eternal life (1 John 1:2) to all
who have the revelation. Truth has a life that brings the things of the Spirit
into the soul which is subsequently evident in practice (1 John 1:6).
Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised
reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and
pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. (2Ki 18:21)
The very moment we receive the revelation that Jesus is the
Messiah, immediately all other forms of salvation or help or deliverance become
dead to us. Though there may be temptations to seek others, the Holy Spirit
will remind us to run to the God of our Salvation. Any other means would be abominable.
There is only One Savior, only One Messiah. Not judging the outcome but
faithful to endure regardless of outward circumstances and what our eyes
behold. We will find out that Jesus our Messiah is faithful and cannot deny
Himself (2 Tim 2:13).If we mentally accept that Jesus is Messiah, and our response
shows otherwise, could we be living in a lie?
