In spending time in John's writings I can't help but be overwhelmed by the emphatic way Jesus is Truth. If you look particularly at the sixth verse, fourth chapter of his first letter, you'll see a note about the "Spirit of Truth." It is so clear, if you don't have Christ, you can't know truth. Those without Christ are merely given over to falsehood.
All the time, every time.
It doesn't matter if the World does its splashy thing, you know, shows you newer imaginative parts of the spectacle to keep you believing they have the truth. They do it all the time. They've done it for millennia. People continue to be stupid. It does hurt to watch, but it is what it is.
Yet it is so clear. Know Christ, and know truth. Scripture goes so far as to proclaim Jesus Himself is The Truth. Oh, many people have their Jesuses. All different concoctions that make them feel good -- with no real truth involved. It is extraordinarily sad that so many live their entire benighted lives devoted to the chronic deceit.
Well, sad too is the truth that what I'm sharing here isn't anything novel or revolutionary. At all. All I do with my webzine ministry and my blog writing is hope, and pray, that whoever comes across it will turn to The One Who Is Truth. Maybe something will click. That's all.
