Does Truth Matter?

Does truth matter?

When the cash drawer is off by $50 at the end of the night, the truth matters. 

When a wife finds evidence causing her to suspect her husband of cheating, the truth matters.

When the courtroom is full and all eyes are on the key witness, the truth matters. 

If the truth matters in these situations, it matters even more when it comes to the state of your eternal soul. We simply cannot afford to ignore the truth - the stakes are too high! 

In John 18, Jesus stands before Pilate. He says, “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth.” Pilate answers him with a question: “What is truth?” 

Jesus came to earth to show us the truth! In fact, Jesus Himself is the truth. Pilate asks the question “What is truth” to Jesus, who IS the truth. What a beautiful irony!

Jesus never hides this claim. To his disciples he discloses his identity in the clearest terms possible when He says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

Truth is embodied in a person- Jesus Christ. Jesus doesn’t just claim to have the truth, He claims to BE the truth. If you want to know truth, you need to know Jesus. 

If Jesus is the truth, then what He says is truth and we must listen, believe, and obey. 

This is my goal with Finding the Truth. It is my desire to help equip believers with the truth as well as compel unbelievers to embrace truth. I’ll be covering topics like “How to Study Your Bible” and “Why You Should Study Theology”, among other things. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned with you as I grow in my understanding of truth. 

Truth gives life. Truth gives hope. Truth is Jesus! I hope you’ll join me in learning, knowing, and living the truth of Jesus Christ.
