The Truth Shall Set You Free

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say [rightly] that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all. John 18:37-38 NKJV

Do you want to be free? Free from stress…free from burdens, cares, worries…free from negative responses…free from broken relationships…free from sickness and disease? Where could you find such relief? Could Jesus hold such an answer?

Jesus said…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6. He is The Truth…and the truth will set you free. That is a deep and profound thought. Would a relationship with Jesus do all that? Breathe in. Breathe out. Yes. Unload your cares on Him. He is big enough to handle anything. He spent His life headed for the Cross—to take on the sin of the world. Our mistakes…those we willfully and unknowingly committed. He hung on the Cross for us.

Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light." Matthew 11:28-30.
Rest for your very soul. What more could you want in life. If all is well with your soul…life will be better. It is for me. Try the Truth. It will set you free.
Prayer ~ Jesus, it is humbling to know how much You had to suffer on the Cross for me. Thank You.

Have you ever tried to make your own grape juice?
Homemade Grape Juice

Grapes of your choice – traditionally Concord grapes are used, but you  can choose any type

Equipment needed:
            Colander
            Potato Masher
            Large pan—and of course a stove
            Sieve or cheesecloth
            Glass measuring cup or bowl
In the colander, wash the grapes well to remove any dirt or chemicals and remove them from the stems. Sing the potato masher, mash the grapes until the juice starts to come out. Then put the grapes into your cooking pan and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, mashing or stirring them if they begin to clump up. Using a sieve, or the cheesecloth, strain the grapes, catching the juice in a large cup—like a measuring cup—or bowl. Refrigerate the juice or pour over ice cubes to serve.

 Juicing can also be done in a food mill or with a juicer designed just for fruits and vegetable. Use the tools you have at hand and enjoy fresh juice.
