Truth
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me”
(John 14:6).
What is truth? This morning I read an article in the daily newspaper which supposedly told the “real” truth about an incident that happened recently. Was it in fact the truth or another person’s opinion?
People lie outright or tell only some of the facts.? They withhold information to give a false impression. Or sometimes, nothing is said when the truth is known. It remains? unspoken because of cowardice or pride. Can we believe anyone anymore? And at one time or another, we all can be? accused of telling lies.
Phillip Keller in his book, What is the Father Like, writes that what God says is absolutely true because He is the embodiment of all truth, and all truth through all time has its source in God.
He reminded me in his book that truth is constant and unchanging. God’s truth remains the same from age to age, generation to generation, no matter how things change. God’s truth will set us free – if we act upon it. If we ignore it, our life can be wrecked – broken hearts, hopes, homes and even countries.
If our lives are centered in God’s truth, He is able to renew our minds, calmly guide our emotions and activate our will to tell the truth. His presence brings truth and can bring a magnificent purifying influence on all our life.
The Lord Jesus – the Truth – can restore our soul, heal our diseases, preserve us in peril and make us live in peace. To live life not believing in absolute Truth robs us of the stability He seeks to give to us. We can trust God to be absolutely truthful – He cannot lie.? The more we are centered in Him, the more we will become like Him – more truthful.
Father, You alone are absolute Truth. You cannot lie. Your Word is Truth, and we can rely on it. Cause our lives to be centered in You and make us more like You? – the Truth. Amen.
