News flash: SABBATH-BREAKING HAS NOT BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A MISDEMEANOR. Oh, for years most of us have heard amateur theologians and Bible "pseudo-scholars" asserting with the kind of loud confidence always reserved for the most seriously mistaken, that, of the Ten Big Commandments, we could certainly forget about #4.

Recently, after reading John 17:17, our Bible class teacher asked, "Who is the truth?" After a brief silence, I answered, "Jesus." Almost immediately, I chuckled to myself as I remembered that when I taught younger children in VBS or at camp or at home, "Jesus" was the pat answer to nearly any question. Maybe you've had a similar experience with questions like, "Who loves you?" or "Who died on the cross for your sins?" Once the children got into the mode of answering, "Jesus," you had to be careful what you asked them (or how you asked) because... Full story
