While traveling, it is not uncommon to walk through metal detectors at check points. The emergency room,
the courthouse, and every airport in the country will require you to remove your belt, shoes, breastplate and
helmet upon entering. Ok, so if you were physically wearing a breastplate and helmet they would make you
remove them. You never know what you will see while travelling at Knight…
Last week Dennis Washington shared a sermon clip starting that the world will expect us to remove our
breastplate of righteousness in the workplace or school. This I refer to as the “meddle” detectors of the
world. These are “meddling” troublemakers who will seek to remove the armor of God from Christians.
Paul is clear what we are to wear as Christians. He gives no indication as to a time when these can come
off.
“Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breast-
plate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of
peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts
of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God” (Ephesians 6:13-17).
As we walk through these “meddle” detectors, we will be called by the world to remove truth, righteous-
ness, readiness of peace, faith, and especially the word of God. We cannot give in to those who would
meddle with our responsibility to love God first. We must tell the world proudly that we wear the Gospel
armor with pride. But know that if you do not remove them when challenged, you may endure persecution
and suffering for the cause of Christ.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on
my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets
who were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12).
While traveling anywhere this week, you will be passing through meddle detectors. Will you notice them
when they appear? Will you recognize their pressure for conformity? Will you continue to wear your
Gospel Armor with pride?

The Way, the Truth and the Life
Of the forty-two titles or descriptions used of
Jesus in the Bible, William Barclay says it is “the
most comprehensive of all claims.” It was in John
14:6 where Jesus declared, I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me“ (Jn. 14:6). To the Jew each of these
would be full of association and promise.
For example the Old Testament is full of the
idea of a way of travel and life. In Psalms 27:11
David prayed to God saying, “Teach me Your way,
O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, be-
cause of my enemies.” Moses commanded the
Jews that they were to turn neither to the left or to
the right but to walk in the way God had com-
manded. He wrote in Deut. 5:32, 33 saying,
“Therefore you shall be careful to do as the
LORD your God has commanded you; you shall
not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 33
"You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD
your God has commanded you, that you may
live and that it may be well with you, and that
you may prolong your days in the land which
you shall possess.” Likewise the Messianic
prophet Isaiah spoke of the way in which he told the
people, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you,
saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ Whenever
you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn
to the left” (Isa. 30:21 NKJV). And again in Isaiah
35:8 We read, “A highway shall be there, and a
road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holi-
ness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it
shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, al-
though a fool, Shall not go astray.” The
New Testament spoke of such away also. In fact
Christianity was known as the Way. Saul of Tarsus
had gone to the High Priest and “asked letters
from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so
that if he found any who were of the Way,
whether men or women, he might bring them
bound to Jerusalem.” But Jesus goes beyond this.
He does not say, “I show you the way” or even “I
open for you the way” but “I am the way.” For exam-
ple: We may direct a person by giving directions by
word of mouth. We may give them a map with the
way marked and still a person may get lost. But if
we say, “I know the way, come and I will take you
there,” then the last chance of their being lost is re-
moved. We then, become, at least for that person,
the way.
The Hebrew background for Jesus’ claim to
be “the truth” is also important. According to
Psalms 25:10, “All the paths of the LORD are
mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant
and His testimonies.”
