What is Truth

What is truth is the question many past and present people ask says the Lord but the answer is right before them.

John 18:38: 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.

Pilate asked this question of Jesus but notice he did not wait around for Jesus' answer.

Philosopher's have been seeking the answer to what is truth since the beginning of time and they still have not come up with the answer.

Stop and listen to the many in the world and you will hear that they speak half truths. Marketing, advertising is built on this percept, telling half truths written in such a way to get people to take an action like buy their products or accept their half truth messages.

You see this so your quest for the truth takes you to the highest mountain or the deepest cave to seek the truth and you still do not find it in these places.

You think truth is knowledge, so you go out and fill yourself up with as much knowledge as your earthly vessel can contain. When you have done this you still find that the answer to your question has not been answered, it somehow evades you.

Many times you think you have found the truth, then realise the truth still evades you and so you continue your endless search.

God Almighty spoke these words, 1 Corinthians 1:27: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

The answer is simple and stands before all men upon this earth. John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus is the truth, the truth is a person, and to know the truth you need to personally know Jesus Christ. It is not knoweldge or religion or a culture or a race it is Jesus Christ himself who is truth.

John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The word is also the truth but Jesus is the word and both agree as one so you may search the entire universe and every mountain and cave, or you may try and soak up every bit of knowledge contained on this earth but unless you personally know Jesus Christ you will never know what is the truth of all things.

1 John 4:6: We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

When we personally know Jesus we are of God and when we do as He commands willingly not because we have to, then we have the spirit of truth within us and we also know the spirit of error as well.

I, the traveller have been where you have been, seeing and hearing all things and knowing none of them are the truth. I searched for many a year and none of the things that I came across could or did satisfy the thirst within me to know what is truth.

Then I meet this Jesus of Nazareth and the answer to my question, what is truth filled me to overflowing and has become the very centre piece of my spirit, soul and body.
