KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 18:38 KJV “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.”

Pilate asked the Lord Jesus after He told Him that, He was born to bear witness to the truth. Pilate then followed up with another question. He asked what is truth.  Many people have asked themselves in their very quiet or solitary moments, this very question. Sadly, many are still searching for the truth. God is truth. Truth is a person. He is the great unseen reality or truth, according to A. W. TOZER. He is the beginning, the cause, and the creator of all things.

This great unseen God has revealed Himself in the flesh as Jesus. 1 Tim 3:16 KJV” And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”  The atheist or socialist philosopher says truth is not absolute. This keeps him in a web of uncertainty. Well God has not left us without a witness. He has spoken to us in these last days by His Son, our Lord Jesus. God is one with His word. Jesus said in John 17:17, that his word is truth.

We consider the question again, what is truth? Truth is that which is the essence of all things, the cause, and sustainer of whatever we see. This is God who has revealed Himself in the flesh. John 1:14. To live by the truth, is to believe the word and to act in obedience to what the word says. This is what brings fulfillment and honour to the man who does the word of God. He also becomes a light and a blessing in diverse ways to the many he relates to. Such a one is free from all the wrong habits, for the truth makes one free.

THOUGHT: TRUTH, IS TRULY KNOWING GOD
