What is Truth?

posted by jfletcher

One can imagine Pontius Pilate, elegant and earthy at the same time, asking Jesus to tell him how to find truth.

This is the great unknown in our world. Jesus, the Christ, said in John 14:6 that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Humans though have a great capacity for explaining away virtually anything. Just the other day, I read where a scholar has said that we must re-think what Jesus was really saying here.

And to think, for 2,000 years it seemed plain that He was claiming to Ultimate Reality.

The various religions, including the new Emergent community within American evangelicalism (growing by leaps and bounds!), often claims there is no absolute truth.

Yet I would invite you to read the Bible through and see if that is so.

If you are looking for it.

Happy Birthday, Israel!
In 1882, the first wave of modern Jewish immigration to Palestine began. Today, it is the land of Israel, eight million souls nestled in a tiny but vibrant country. I've been blessed to have visited several times and find it to be not only an exciting country, but also quite safe. Much to th
