This week’s Moment of Truth: “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:3–5 (NIV) 

You can spend your life building—your health, your knowledge, your influence, your position. Those things have their place, but they are not what endure. 

We spend our time working on those things because they feel important. 

But in the end, they are not what matters most. 

What matters is whether or not you chose to believe in Jesus. 

That is the decision that stands. 

And once that decision is made, it is reflected in how you live—steady, consistent, and real. In obedience. In commitment. In how you prepare and how you act. 

This week’s "Moment of Truth" lays that out plainly—what Christ has done, what that decision means, and what it looks like to actually live it out as a Christian warrior.
