Truth...


I found this on another fellow bloggers' site - Thanks Ron!

What is truth?" Pilate asked Jesus (John 18:38).

He didn't realize the truth was standing right in front of him. Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life (John 14:6).
Truth is not doctrine, philosophy, a book...Truth is a person - Jesus! Jesus the incarnate God is the fullness of the Truth. "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17)."

Jesus was praying to the Father..."Sanctify them by the truth; your word (logos) is truth (John 17:17)." Who is the word? [John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word (logos), and the Word (logos) was with God, and the Word (logos) was God.]

Fr. Stephen Freeman wrote: "The Bible is not God’s revelation to man: Jesus Christ is God’s revelation to man. The Scriptures bear witness to Him and are thus “true” as a true witness to the God/Man Jesus Christ."..." Things are true and false only as they are compared to Him. He may be compared to nothing else."
