Jesus the Christ is the Truth
John 14:5-7 “Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him.”
John 18:37-38 “Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art Thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice. Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in Him no fault at all.”
What is truth? When Jesus the Christ said that He is the Truth, what could that mean? We often think of the Truth as something determined through reason and logic. However we are warned by God in His Word that these tools are deceptive:
Col 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
In the light of this, it should not be surprising that most secular knowledge does not agree with the Word of God. The reason for this is not that the Bible is not scientific, but that secular knowledge is based on a lie, which is, that truth can be obtained through human effort. Truth can only be found through Jesus Christ.
Who defines reality? God, or people? The Creator, or the creature? Christianity is not a religion, it is reality.
Why must we be intimidated by “secular” knowledge? If Jesus is truth, then why would we ever have any need to ignore or fear truth. Truth should be embraced. Science can find truth, and so can philosophy, and other religions have found some aspects of truth in them as well. These principals and laws if true – simply are pointing to the greater universal truth which is Jesus. Therefore I fear no knowledge, secular or otherwise.
It’s the secular world that fears Biblical Truth.
