JESUS IS THE TRUTH
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012
“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth” (Jn 1:14).
Jesus is the embodiment of God’s final grace and absolute “truth.” He is alone “the way, and the truth and the life” (Jn 14:6). He is the only true way to God and everlasting life, so anything or any other way is wrong. This “knowledge” is liberating: “the truth shall make you free” (Jn 8:32), which is from sin, self, ignorance, error and death. His apostles were sent “the Spirit of truth” to guide them into “all truth” (Jn 16:13). We read His words of truth in the New Testament.
“For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ” (Jn 1:17).
