What Jesus teaches about Truth
Introduction
The world today is inundated with shifting ideas of ‘truth’ – subjective interpretations, relative understandings, and personal biases. However, as believers, we are called to a higher standard, a divine standard, which is rooted in Jesus Christ. The Truth that Jesus teaches isn’t relative or subject to change, but it’s absolute, transformative, and eternal.
Let’s delve deeper into Jesus’ teaching on Truth and how we can embody this in our everyday lives, drawing closer to our Savior and emulating His divine righteousness.
Bible Verse
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6
Meaning
In Jesus’ statement “I am the way and the truth and the life,” He makes a profound declaration of His divine essence and mission. Jesus is the Truth, embodying God’s Word, His promises, and His character. He is not presenting one of many truths but the only Truth.
Jesus, being the incarnation of Truth, cannot lie or deceive. Thus, His teachings are trustworthy and pure. They provide reliable guidance on the path of life, shedding light on God’s will and righteousness.
Seeking truth in Jesus means submitting to His word, His commands and following His footsteps.
