“Every one that is of the truth heareth My voice” (John 18:37).
When we hear something, we like to be sure that we are hearing the truth. Yet we live in a strange world today, for some people talk as if there can be more than one truth about a particular subject. Supposedly you can have your truth, and I can have mine, even if they contradict each other. Others would say that there is no absolute truth today; it is all relative. That means that we “make up” the truth, depending on the situation. But by definition, the truth excludes everything that is not true. A judge in a courtroom would not allow two witnesses to say opposite things about the same event, and then say, “Well, I guess they can both be right.”
If we wish to know the truth about any moral or spiritual subject, we must read the Word of God, and learn about Christ. He could say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6), and the Lord Jesus reminded Pilate that He was the truth. When we know Christ, and walk with Him, we have the truth about everything that we see in this world, and on every moral and spiritual question.
