1.     The Game

a.     You remember the old game we played as kids in a group at school or some event where there were many people - everyone would be in a line of chairs or standing and one person would say a phrase or start a story for the person on the end who would repeat it to the person next to them and after all had heard it the original phrase was read and it was nothing at all like what was said by the last person - if you can remember that game then you can somewhat relate to what  is happening on a media front right now with the Corona Virus stuff.

b.     We literally can see one person with an alphabet at the end of their name telling us one thing while moments later someone w/ the same degree tells us exactly the opposite

2.     What Is Truth 

a.     John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth , and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. KJV

                            i.         Ye shall know- NT:1097 ginosko (ghin-oce'-ko); a prolonged form of a primary verb; to "know" (absolutely) in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as follow, with others not thus clearly expressed): KJV - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) know (-ledge), perceived, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand. 

                          ii.         Truth  -  NT:227 alethes (al-ay-thace'); from NT:1 (as a negative particle) and NT:2990; true (as not concealing): KJV - true, truly, truth. 

1.     Not concealing - God does not speak in half truths, in Him nothing is hidden

a.     Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed ; and hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: KJV

                         iii.         Make you free - 

1.     NT:1659 eleutheroo (el-yoo-ther-o'-o); from NT:1658; to liberate, i.e. (figuratively) to exempt (from moral, ceremonial or mortal liability): KJV - deliver, make free.

a.     Free from what?

                                                                    i.         Indecision

                                                                   ii.         Fear

                                                                 iii.         Worry
