Jesus Is Truth

November 11

The TRUTH is in Jesus. Jesus is the TRUTH. Anything apart from that simple assessment of the veracity of faith is contrary to TRUTH and therefore contrary to Jesus Himself. We cannot, in other words, establish our own truth. We can find TRUTH. We can embrace TRUTH. We can reject TRUTH.

We have no other options. In the feast of religious information that exists regarding matters of time, and more essentially matters of eternity, God has not set a smorgasbord before us. He has set absolutes before us. Oh, yes, there is a smorgasbord of religious notions, but God is not responsible for misinformation.

The enemy of our souls has sought from his first encounter with man in the garden to interject error into human perception of truth. Man has from that time forward, sought to pick and choose his beliefs and often has selected tenets of faith that are not Biblical and are not TRUTH. The evil one has instilled a fervency in those who err. And his lies expedite their destruction.

Ephesians 4:20, 21 points out that all which is purported to be truth is not: “That is not how you learned about the Messiah, assuming you heard Him and were taught by Him, because the TRUTH is in Jesus.” If we stray from the Lord’s own representation of Himself, we are lost in error and need the Word to help us find our way back to Him, back to the TRUTH.
