In John 8 v 32, Jesus said,''Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free''.The truth involves two things, Jesus and His teaching, you cannot have one without the other. Gandhi was influenced by some of the teaching of Jesus, but he didn't know Jesus,there are those who say they know Jesus but refuse to accept and practice what Jesus taught.To enter into that freedom Jesus talks about ,we must know who He was and who he is,and must believe and practice His teaching.To really know Him means that you are forgiven and you no longer live under guilt,then He will free you from the power of sin ,like hating others,not forgiving others, He will enable you love your enemies,love the unlovable,all will be changed.Yes you wont be perfect but you will be changed,we will walk in the light and not in the dark.You will have a peace that passes all understanding, and you will have Jesus with you always.You will be free from the fear of death for Jesus said ,even though you die you shall live. ( John 11 v25 ).The fact is we cannot change ourselves, it is impossible,one of the greatest enemies,I have to contend with is myself,all things are possible with Jesus. Is it not better to know and follow Jesus who is the light of the world than to walk in the darkness?.
'Jesus said'
I am the light of the world.Who ever follows Me
shall never walk in darkness, but will have the light
of life. ( John 8 v 12)
