Jesus Christ, said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. As Christians, do we believe He is the Truth or not?

Or do we look around the world and perceive the things and experiences of this world (which we are not to be of) as presenting to us truth? The Life of Christ is above all things in this earth and this world. His truth is also above (greater than) the truth`s we learn in this world.

There are absolutes/laws, such as gravity, in the world and also spiritual laws and absolutes. Things of God and the Spirit that can not be changed no matter our perspective or experience. They simply are. (He is the same yesterday, today and always). But Christ as our Truth is an absolute that rises above all other `truths` (ie:true-isms).

If we call truth whatever someone believes or thinks, then that alone will cause division. I don’t consider what someone else holds to be truth as THE TRUTH. What they believe is a true-ism. So I don’t let it get in the way of a friendship or fellowship. We all have true-isms. If we make the mistake of building any part of our lives around a true-ism we begin to separate ourselves from others.

The Truth that Jesus said He is, is from the tree of Life, not the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So I know that when I am struggling to understand something as good or bad (an experience, a philosophy, or a doctrine, etc) ultimately my decision is still a fruit of the wrong tree, death.

So I seek to know (what only the Holy Spirit can teach) what is greater than good or bad, and is Life instead. Just like Love covers a multitude of sins. We can debate the sin but it still isn’t Love. We need to rise higher.

I am open to hearing what others have to say about truth, but in the context of Christ. (ie: Don’t try to tell me the truth you know is the world is flat, because I know it isn’t.) Truth is not arbitrary. We can not decide what truth is. It already IS, we just need to know it (Him).

The Truth, that is Christ, will ALWAYS set us free, to be who we are and to love others, regardless of our differences.

Wouldn’t you agree?
