In today’s culture, anyone who tells the truth to an adult, the authorities or teacher is often labeled a snitch. There is an unwritten code of conduct that is expected to be followed by peers. Anyone who crosses this line betrays their family, friends and neighborhood.
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth, Psalm 145:18.
The Bible refers to a different kind of betrayal. Although religious leaders tried to drag up some dirt on Jesus, no one was able to find anything, not even a tiny white lie. Thus, the chief priests put out word, offering money in exchange for Jesus, hoping someone would be swayed to cooperate.
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” John 8:32.
I guess you can say the term snitch is a by product of a society without absolutes. When right and wrong becomes clouded, peer pressure attempts to protect a friend from blame. Young people have learned well from Adam and Eve, emulating and taking their actions to a new level. Nonetheless, the Lord is searching for a snitch; someone is not afraid to stand up for what is right. May the words of Jesus in John 8 come to realization in your life.
