37 “You are a king then?” Pilate asked.
“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth.Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38 “What is truth?” said Pilate. (John 18:37-38 CSB)
Today, everyone wants their own form of truth. The world says, there are no absolutes.
I would challenge that.
And I only challenge this thinking through the eye of scripture, not from my own interpretation. For I too am a horribly fallible man.
But truth can not be this loosey-goosey thing that we all have a version of. There needs to be some absolutes. For me, at least, that comes from scripture. I have found in my life it to be a solid teacher of truth and a reliable guide.
But how do we respond to those who wish to bend the truth, to form it into the likeness they would desire?
The only thing I have found that combats loosey-goosey truth is love. You see, people have a hard time taking a hard line against someone who is trying to love on them in a Godly, scripturally based manner. It takes the truth fight right out of them. To exhibit genuine concern for another is a strong reconciler of truth.
What is truth? Truth is love.
