John 8:31-33
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, ‘You will be made free’?”
What does it mean to be free?
What does it mean to know truth?
Does knowing truth bring freedom?
More questions than answers
And maybe, just maybe,
those questions
are the very things that will bring freedom
the very stuff of truth
Not trapped by certainties
or by lies
there is potential for discovery
and room for stretching
The possibility
of reaching out
to what is beyond ourselves
and, almost accidentally,
stumbling upon a kind of freedom
and a provisional truth
that will do for now.
