The Search for Truth

There is an historical account of a man who once ask the question, “What is truth?”. If truth matters and it is what you are searching for, I would encourage you to read the historical account of Pilate’s interaction with a man named Jesus, who said, “…Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.” Your can find this historical account in, “The Works of Flavius Josephus”, “Tacitus’ Annals”,and the Bible, Matthew 18:28-19:16.

Truth certainly is important, but it can be distorted, exaggerated, key information can be omitted, and it can be presented with misleading context to manipulate others. Therefore, in searching for truth there has to be single starting point of truth. So, what is the basis of all truth?, it is a person! But let’s dive a little deeper into the subject before we reveal the person.

Truth can be seen in all of creation. Truth can be read in the Bible, Truth can be known through revelation, Truth can be found while searching, Truth always was, is, and will be, but man trust more in himself than in the truth. Why, because truth can be uncomfortable, revealing, even pointing out error. Knowing this man has a tendency to leave the path of truth. You see truth stands firm with a sure foundation if its God’s Truth. God’s truth, that’s what man has trouble believing. But if you are truly searching for truth, then the sure foundation just mentioned should be paramount in your search. Look to God, from where your help will come and ask him to reveal truth to you and he will. Just ask!

So, who is this person who is the sure foundation of all truth, its Jesus! He said, he was the way, the truth, and the life…” found in John 14:6 of the Bible. If you really want know truth, it is a person. Read all you can about him and then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free (John 8:32).
