Can Jesus Be True for You but Not for Me?

College football is the greatest game out there, I don’t think anyone can argue against that. One of the reasons that it is so good is the drama that comes along with it. We had it in the season that just rapped up Monday with the final four. USC lost their conference championship and fell out but TCU lost their conference championship and did fall at all. We love it.

Once of the more famous dramatic season finishes also involved USC. It was the 2003 season…

There was a difference of opinion about who the best team was and those two teams never played so we don’t get to know. But if those two teams had gotten on the field and played, how many teams would have won?

I think it probably would have been LSU. The were coached by Nick Saban, the GOAT, and I think it would’ve been like a 27-18 type of game. Had that happened, could a USC fan come up and say, “well it’s true for you that LSU won, but for me USC won the game”?

No. Only one team can win, and whichever team wins, they won. It’s absolutely true; true no matter who you are, where you are, if you like it or not. That’s what absolute truth is; something that is always true without condition. There are a lot of people today who believe that this type of truth doesn’t actually exist. They believe instead that people can find whatever works for them and that’s their truth, but it doesn’t have to be anyone else’s.

I was listening to a preacher explain this one time and he said that it makes him so frustrated that he wants to just slap someone making this argument and say, “that was true for me, so it’s good”!

Some truths are relative, but the most important ones, the ones that impact us the most, are not. So we need to understand them!

The claims that Jesus made are incompatible with truth claims of other religions. He either is the only Savior for humanity or He is no savior at all.
