Jesus, the Truth

by Terry Wane Benton

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6).

Jesus is the truth about everything.

• Do you want to know how this world began and how life, moral conscience, and intelligence began? Jesus is the truth. Natural evolution is the lie.
• Do you want to know the truth about our purpose? Jesus is the truth. Selfish ambition is the lie.
• Do you want to know if life is valuable and if your life matters? Jesus is the Truth. He thinks you are worth dying for. Feeling worthless is the lie that moral evil keeps whispering in your ear.
• Do you want to know if there is really life after death? Jesus is the truth. Materialism is the lie.
• Do you want to know if absolute truth exists, a standard of right and wrong for all people? Jesus is the truth. There is "the truth" that we can learn from Jesus, or there are the multiple lies that men call "my truth" and "your truth."
• Do you want to know if God is real? Jesus came to reveal Himself as "the truth" on that matter. Atheism and agnosticism are the lies people swallow because they don't want to know the truth.

Jesus is the way, and Jesus is the truth. Do you know Him?
