SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:36-37 – And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
COMMENTARY: If we call ourselves Christians, we are to be the very example of the one who is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6)
REFLECTION: What are some consequences when people are caught lying? What are some consequences they experience even when they seem to get away with lying? Why do ‘men love darkness rather than light’? Are there recurring situations in which you tend to exaggerate? What do you hope exaggerating will do for you? How does lying and exaggerating affect your Christian relationships? How does it shape your words to realize that every word you speak is spoken in the presence of Christ?
