APART FROM OUR LORD JESUS WE CANNOT KNOW THE TRUTH. He is our perfect Teacher. If we are of a childlike disposition, willing to do as well as to learn, we shall know the truth. All Zion's children shall be taught of the Lord. Everyone who is divinely taught comes to Jesus. He that comes to Jesus is made wise unto salvation. He that is wise unto salvation, knows the truth. The truth is in Christ. He is its centre. To know Him, so as to trust His word, rely on His sacrifice, and do His will, is to know the truth. The knowledge of the truth makes us free. It frees us from deception, prejudice, and folly. It frees us from the slavery of Satan, the bondage of the law, and the wrath of God. It frees us from the guilt of sin, the accusations of conscience, and the cruel fetters of carnal custom. It makes us free by imparting a true knowledge of God, by discovering the way of salvation, and by proclaiming pardon, peace, and reconciliation. If we know the truth as it is in Jesus, we shall conquer the world, enter the Redeemer's kingdom, enjoy peace with God, and render hearty and cheerful obedience to the will of God.

For Meditation:
Saviour! to me the truth reveal,
Thy teaching, Lord, I need;
Its power and unction may I feel,
To make me free indeed:
Each fetter break that binds my heart,
And sanctifying grace impart.
