False witnessing’s, untrue testimonies, lying
- Matthew 26:59
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus
so that they could put him to death.
- Mark 10:19
You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall
not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony,
you shall not defraud, honour your father and mother
- Romans 13:9
The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You
shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are
summed up in this one command: “Love
your neighbour as yourself.”
- Acts 6:13
They produced false witnesses, who testified, “This fellow never stops
speaking against this holy place and
against the law.
- 1 Corinthians 15:15
More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses
about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the
dead. But he did not raise him if in
fact the dead are not raised.
Luke 2:20
The shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which
were just as they had been told. —
Can you imagine the shepherds returning to
their flocks after the night they had? They had seen God's glory. They had
experienced the presence of angels. They had seen the newborn King, the
promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. Even more amazing, it was just as
they had been told. As amazing as the angel's words of announcement had been,
they were gloriously fulfilled. In addition to all that Jesus was at the moment
of his birth, he is also the absolute answer to God's greatest promises and the
greatest assurance that God keeps his word.
Incredibly, God had
chosen shepherds, unnamed to us and unimportant to their peers, to be the
witnesses and participants in God's glorious story of salvation. It is our
Father's way of reminding us that no matter who we are, Jesus came for us
because we are important to him!
