The Truth

At this pace, He is sure to return before we finish the book of John. Not only are we paused on this verse but at only once a week we wont hit verse 7 until June. As long as He is glorified and proclaimed it doesn’t really matter I guess. I pray as we feebly attempt to pierce His words that He pierces our hearts and presses in them by His Way, His Truth, and Life through His Son.

- What is meant by the Truth?

He is the Truth. He is the singular all encompassing truth. To say that we may believe different things but we are all going to the same place is pure blasphemy. There is not many gods or many gospels but THE truth. And this truth is the full and final revelation of the Christ and Christ alone. Truth is not to be found in apologetics, philosophy, or theology but is and is known in a Person. One person! The only I Am, Christ the Truth! Truth is only found in Him and from Him. On our own we have no understanding (Rom 3:13), on our own we are sure to stumble over the most basic of things (Prov 4:69), and seek darkness (Eph 4:18). But thankfully He does not leave His elect in our ignorance. He is glorified in the revelation of His truth. He reveals His Son, He exposes ourselves for what it is, and He reveals His mercy and grace. He reveals His Truth of His Truth through His Truth. And in Him and through Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom, knowledge, and life (Col 2:8). Dear reader what will it give you in hell to be wiser than another, to understand more, to quote scripture and read Greek, and to be proficient in apologetics or theology if you have never bowed and know the Truth that only He provides. Oh seek in ignorance and true humility and pray that you rest by His grace on and in the Truth. (John 18:38)
