“Everyone that is of the truth heareth my
voice.” Jn 18:37b
This was Pilate’s struggle as he questioned Jesus
before his crucifixion, as well as society today, “what is truth” (vs 38). In
order to answer such a question one must utilize the definition of truth itself
to do so. By definition truth is the “conformity to fact or actuality; a statement
proven to be or accepted as true.”
The world today is claiming there is not true reality, only perceptions
and opinions; universal truth that everyone is right according to their own feelings
and beliefs. Yet by the very definition
of truth, two opposing views cannot be right; there can only be one truth not
versions of it. How is it that society,
and even religions, have embraced universalism: the idea that every religion is
equally valid and all men can get to God and heaven in their own way? Consider
what Jesus said, “I am the way, the
truth, the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.” (Jn
14:6) There
can only be one truth, Jesus or man. If
man says he has contrary choices based on his own feelings and beliefs, then
Jesus is wrong in His factual statement!
To know Jesus and to hear His voice, one must be truthful with himself;
Jesus is the truth and the life for all men.
There can only be “one” truth,
God or man.
Many find truth hard to swallow, because they
are choking on their pride.
