John 8:21-32
Jesus said in verse 31-32 "if you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
In the passage, Jesus is talking to the Jews, that they do not know him or they would be able to recognize him as the Son. How do you recognize the Son? Foremost, you stay in his Word, have relationship with him by reading his Word. Jesus says that he doesn't do anything of his own authority but speaks only what the Father has taught him. So to know the Father and the Son, you have to be immersed in the Word. Inside the Word you will find encouragement for your day, your situation, and your life. Inside the Word you will also find hope; hope for things to come, hope for healing, or hope for a new beginning. Inside the Word you will find peace, a peace that you cannot explain. By remaining in the Word, Jesus will teach you the truth and you can be set free from those things that are wearing you down. Reach into the Word, find truth, freedom and really be Jesus' disciple.
