Bible Seeds: I was wondering the other day, What makes people's faith stronger? No matter if it's faith in God, your doctor, your parents, your husband, your wife , your children, your neighbor, a friend, your pastor. The very thing that makes your faith stronger in each other has to be THE TRUTH!
In the fur gospels, Jesus did not waste His words. Many times the point He makes only takes a paragraph or two. And even though the disciples would ask Him what He meant, about a parable or story He told, Jesus asked them why they didin't understand! Then he would explain it differently so they would get it.
But there was a phrase Jesus used commonly and He said it in differents ways. Jesus said "I tell you the truth" seventy eight times in the new Testament gospels of the King James Bible.There are nineteen bible verses Jesus said, that start with or contain the words, Truly truly, I say to you". There may have been a time that the Apostles thought they lost Jesus to the cross, but they were filled with joy at His resurrection and they knew that all Jesus told them was true and they would join Jesus in heaven and their bodies would be like His and they would live wonderfully forever! And they remembered what Jesus had tol them: "I am the way, The Truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
