What Is Truth?
John 18:
Staring in the face of Jesus, Truth Incarnate, Pilate asks the question: “What is truth?”
Was he being cynical or genuine?
If Jesus stood before a person in our day, the conversation might go much differently.
If Jesus said he was born for the purpose of bearing witness to the truth and that everyone who is of the truth hears his voice, he might be met with a snicker and an eye-roll.
Or, maybe, another person might respond by clarifying Jesus’ words with, “You mean, true to them, don’t you?”
I read an article over 20 years ago that suggested, “truth ain’t what it used to be.”
That statement is a wild understatement today.
For many today, truth is relative and any appeal to it is simply a power-play.
Any appeal to sharing the truth is met with suspicion at best and scorn at worst.
But Jesus, takes the truth very seriously.
You don’t call yourself the Truth and declare that bearing witness to the truth is why you were born and came into the world if you don’t take it seriously.
The rest of the Bible agrees.
But what is truth?
One answer would be to say that truth is what corresponds to reality… to the way things are.
The New Testament has much more to say about truth, so let’s take a look as some of the key ideas.
Truth as opposed to falsehood and lies
The New Testament assumes some things are true and some things are not.
