Thank God for THE False Accusation

Sabbath, turning over the tables of the money changers that had turned the temple into a den of thieves.  He also stopped the stoning of a woman accused of adultery by challenging those without sin to cast the first stone.

As is often the case, false accusations speak much, much more loudly about the character of the accuser than the one being accused.  So, what is the cause of false accusations? They are clearly intended to separate the Body of Christ and the accuser is being used as a vessel of the enemy.  God allows  us free will but will fight and rescues those that seek His face. “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you” (1 Peter 5:10).  God uses our suffering and adversity to prepare us for a closer relationship with Him and a more meaningful ministry to others.

Without these false accusations against Jesus, the subsequent crucifixion, resurrection, ascension and forgiveness of our sins would not be possible. The false accusation was imperative to initiate this important series of events upon which we base our faith. This is not intended to encourage you to falsely accuse your neighbor. A false accusation is perhaps the highest backhanded compliment that you can receive from the enemy. It means that he knows you have a glorious future of leading others to Christ and he wants to destroy you by the words of others or even better by suicide.  I always enjoy a good challenge and have been told at various points in my life – you cannot achieve this or that.  My determination is always strengthened and I make it a mission to achieve it faster and better than before.

Prayer:  Dear God, Forgive us our sin of falsely accusing our brothers and sisters and help us to forgive those that falsely accuse us. We know that You are with us when we are falsely accused because You were falsely accused. May we view each false accusation that we receive as an invitation to respond in love and grace. Amen.
