Conspiracies

¹¹ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. ¹² When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ ¹⁴ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” ¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

Matthew 28:11-15

We live in a world today where it seems impossible to know the truth. There are so many ideas, opinions, sources, surveys, studies and experts and they never seem to agree with one another. We think this is a modern issue or problem but it really isn’t. The difficult search for truth has been a human struggle since the very beginning.

² And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; ³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” ⁴ Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. ⁵ For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:2-5

From the very beginning, the truth has been twisted, abused, hidden and rejected. This of course is a problem because truth is very important to us to make right decisions. Truth about health can make the difference between life and death. Truth about law can make you free or put you behind bars. Truth in relationship can keep marriages together, families united and friendships strong. Truth about God can mean the difference between eternal life or death. So is there anything that we can trust in?

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. ³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 8:31-32 and John 14:6
