What is Truth?

Jesus says he was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. Pilate’s reply sounds to me as if he had heard every lie in the book. And, he probably had.

“What is truth?” The same question is asked by many today. And like Pilate, many believe there is no
truth.

Our schools teach tolerance – everyone has the right to believe whatever they want. If I say, “My God is the only true God,” I’m labeled “intolerant.” Go ahead and label me.

My God IS the only true God. That is the truth. It doesn't matter what you believe. All that matters is what’s true.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Pilate did not understand he was staring Truth in the face. He’d become so skeptical, so jaded, he couldn't recognize truth.

Unfortunately, in a world were so many lies and so much deception have been plastered on headlines, it’s tough to trust anyone these days. Too often, those lies have come from the mouths of those claiming the name of Christ. But none of that changes the truth, only our receptiveness to it.

We, Jesus’ followers, must show the world the Truth. We must show them Jesus. “How can they believe in what they have not heard, and how can they hear unless someone tells them, and how can they go and tell them if they are not sent?” (Romans 10:14-15)

Before Jesus left this world, he said, “As the Father sent me, so I am sending you” (John 20:21). And he told his followers, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded them” (Matthew 28:19-20).

You have been sent.
