20You, however, have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.a 21I have not written you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth.
This idea of anointing – literally, to be blessed with oil – was said to be the reason behind one of the punishments given to John in persecution. The Roman emperor Domitian cast John in a boiling vat of oil, as if to say, “Here is a real anointing.” John emerged from the vat of boiling oil unharmed, because he was anointed indeed.
(Guzik)
But what is the truth?
John 14:6 6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
Now that you have knowledge of the truth, what will you do with it?
Blessings, David
