“Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in Him no fault at all.”

               -John 18:38

We live in a society that constantly attempts to minimize the value of absolute truth. Everything is tolerated except intolerance, and anybody so bold as to think what they’ve found is exclusively right must be wrong altogether. Of course you can believe in God if you’d like, but you’ll still be required to “respect” the beliefs of anybody who doesn’t – even if those beliefs blatantly disrespect your Creator.

By definition, however, the truth can have only one form and is not at all manipulatable. If you bend it, break it, or twist it, you have thus departed from the very essence of what truth is: that which pertains to the way things are. If Jesus is in fact the Son of God, then why should we apologize for believing in Him or feel obligated to respect false beliefs which deny His deity?

“Sanctify them through Thy truth: thy Word is truth.”

              -John 17:17

The truth of God’s Word is universal and not at all dependent upon circumstance. No philosopher, textbook or science teacher has ever been able to prove otherwise. It shouldn’t surprise us, though, to know that a God Who literally is the truth (John. 14:6) would ensure that what He tells us is also absolute.

By the way, for those of you who are enjoying summer break a little too much, here’s an equation for you to work on over the next  few days:

Absolute Truth + X = Absolutely Anything

I’ll reveal the answer in my next post, so stay tuned. ;)
