Friends,
As Pentecost renews the Church and
brings to conclusion the celebration of
the Season of Easter, we ask that the
Spirit of Truth come upon ourselves and
our nation. Speaking the truth in love
is what Jesus Christ admonishes us to
do. We can be the beginning of a mighty
change that we need in our nation to
begin seeking the truth and speaking the
truth. Pontius Pilot asked Jesus during
his interrogation before his death,
“What is truth?” As a political person,
Pilot underscores the false premise that
truth is only relevant so as to achieve
our own ends, that truth is ultimately
illusive. This premise we must reject as
followers of Jesus Christ. The Holy
Spirit allows us to discern and pray
that the truth will be revealed by the
author of all TRUTH – Jesus Christ our
Lord who is the way, the truth, and the
life.
