"நீங்கள் உங்கள் பிதாவாகிய பிசாசானவனால் உண்டானவர்கள்; உங்கள் பிதாவினுடைய இச்சைகளின்படி செய்ய மனதாயிருக்கிறீர்கள்; அவன் ஆதிமுதற்கொண்டு மனுஷ கொலைபாதகனாயிருக்கிறான்; சத்தியம் அவனிடத்திலில்லாதபடியால் அவன் சத்தியத்திலே நிலைநிற்கவில்லை; அவன் பொய்யனும் பொய்க்குப் பிதாவுமாயிருக்கிறபடியால் பொய்பேசும்போது தன் சொந்தத்தில் எடுத்துப் பேசுகிறான்." ( யோவான் 8: 44)
“Inside the Seeds” 🌳
Scripture Meditation No: 1576
AATHAVAN – Sunday, 01.06.2025
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 (KJV)
In today’s meditation verse, our Lord Jesus Christ reveals some important truths about the devil: He is a murderer from the beginning, does not abide in the truth, is a liar, the father of lies, and speaks from his own twisted imagination.
Jesus emphasizes that Satan has been a murderer from the beginning. To prevent Adam and Eve from experiencing the eternal life that God had already prepared for them, Satan used lies. He deceived them with a fabricated story, causing them to ignore God’s command. This is why Jesus calls him “the father of lies.”
“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” — Genesis 2:16–17 (KJV)
God’s command was very simple, and there was no difficulty in obeying it. Yet, Satan deceived them with a lie:
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” — Genesis 3:4–5 (KJV)
Today, if we call ourselves Christians—especially spiritual Christians—and yet live like Adam and Eve, our life has no value. Just as they were driven out of the Garden, we too may be cast out from the fellowship of God. Even if we participate in worship and listen to the Word of God, if we choose to satisfy our fleshly desires by following Satan’s deceptive path, then—according to today’s verse—we are of the devil.
This world often embraces lies more readily than truth. Why? Because truth is usually bitter for many. That’s why Jesus continues in the next verse:
“And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.” — John 8:45 (KJV)
Yes, beloved, more than participating in spiritual worship, prayer meetings, giving tithes, or being active in church ministries, Jesus places greater importance on how truthfully, we live our lives.
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.” — Colossians 3:9–10 (KJV)
A truly spiritual person is one who lives without lies. The Bible says liars will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven:
“And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.” — Revelation 21:27 (KJV)
Yes, for liars, a place is already prepared alongside their father—the devil. Let us therefore cast aside all lies and live as people of truth.
