John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Jesus is The Truth. In a world full of lies and error, it is a good thing to step back and remember what truth really is. Diann Cotton defines it as "things that are true, fidelity, constancy; sincerity in action, character, and utterance; the quality or state of being true; actuality." (100 Days with Jesus) Since more than one of those descriptions includes the word "true", this also requires definition: "agreeing with the facts: not false; real or genuine: steadfast, loyal; honest, just; truthful: ideal; essential, consistent; legitimate; rightful, accurate." Jesus is everything that really matters. If we want to make an important decision; if our life really depends on it; if we want to know the way things really are, we turn to Jesus. John had begun his Gospel telling us Jesus is "full of grace and truth." Pilate grunted "What is truth?" when He was standing right in front of Him. If you want the truth, Jesus is your man. When you want to know God and what He wants, there is no better place to turn, and you will find Truth.
