John 14:6
I AM Truth
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 18:37-38
What is Truth
37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate.
John 8:31-32
The Truth Shall Set You Free
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 20:24-29
From Doubt to Belief and Truth
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Acts 4:12
Salvation is Found Only in Jesus
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
Jesus stood up two thousand years ago and said He is Truth...That statement is exclusive...Now that in and above itself is a very unique statement, but He also adds He is the Way and He is the Life...Then He quite remarkably adds that "No one comes to the Father except through me."...He makes Himself not only the most unique Man in saying these things (and what He said on earth), but He is also putting this exclusion about Himself on other religions that believe in God...He and it is not said that are truths in all religions, because there are truths in all religion...But Jesus is the One Man, who calls Himself Truth...He is a Universal Truth, if you believe in Him...
Jesus does not say He is a path to God...He does not say there are many ways to get to God...By Jesus using the words "no one" and "except", in His statement "No one comes to the Father except through me.", He is saying that He is the Only Way to God, The Way to God...Any man that would have said these things other than Jesus, would have their insanity questioned...But people look at Him as a very helpful sane historical Person...
When Pilate ask, "What is truth" or "What is Truth" are very good questions...
If one believes that Truth is a Person, then one can believe that Jesus is Truth...I believe that Truth and the truths that we believe in and have are personal truths and beliefs...I believe if we were on a jury of forty searching for truth and got to see a version of what happened before the trial, and saw it only once, a jury of forty would have forty different versions of the truth of what happened...We are swayed by our own personal belief system, by how and where we were brought up, by our mother and father's DNA in us, and by our own living experiences...For these reasons, I believe that truth is personal...So I believe, that for every man, woman, and child that have ever lived have their own personal version of the Truth and truth...This is one of the reasons, I believe that the Absolute Truth is outside of us, and is external...
And I believe that Truth has to be exclusive...Everything becomes truth, if we do not believe that Truth is exclusive...Reasoning tells us that two opposing views and opposites cannot both be true...If one has a red car, they cannot call it black...All other colors are excluded, because the car is red...If you believe that truths are personal, then we have over seven billion versions of earthly truths going on at one time, since now we have seven billion people on earth...If you believe that one filters and thinks through truth each of their truths and makes it personal for them, then there must be different versions of truths...So to get to the Absolute Truths, we must go outside ourselves to find Truth...And this is what makes Jesus extraordinary to me, He calls Himself Truth...And I believe that His Truth will someday set us free...
Each of us need to ask ourselves "What is Truth"...And each of us must ask ourselves why did Jesus say I AM Truth?...Then we can find, not only another personal Truth, but also the Universal Truth...Then He becomes my LORD and my God...
