Recently I watched the
Japanese movie - "Monster". There are many people in the movie who
live in Japan and have problems with the truth. They do not tell the truth and
therefore their life is terrible. It is difficult not only for them but also
for their relatives who experience the consequences. There is only one teacher
who wants to discover the truth. But he suffers a lot and cannot win...
This teacher reminded me
about Jesus who came to the world to testify to the truth. But he had to suffer
and was crucified by those who do not accept his truth.
Let us think about
ourselves. Do we know what the truth is. We also have some problems with the
truth and with those people who lie. It can be a real fight with the powers of
darkness.
Sometimes we are afraid to
face the truth. We prefer not to know the whole truth because it can be
painful. So we live our life like in the theatre and play like actors. There
are people who deceive us. We rather choose silence and inner suffering because
we do not want to fight with them.
The truth is calm but
strong. There is no fear in the truth. When we are close to Jesus, we are not
afraid to face the truth. We are even ready to suffer and experience
difficulties.
When we are far from the
truth, we live in constant anxiety and fear. We are not able to move forward
and change anything in our life.
Jesus Christ encourages us
to testify to the truth and follow him. Let us become brave and prudent in our
life as followers of Christ.
