Years ago that was a politically incorrect way of saying, “Tell the
truth. Don’t twist the facts, don’t leave out anything important and don’t add
anything to change what is true.” Today, however, truth is undergoing a
transformation. It used to be that people understood the difference between
gravity truth (those truths which apply to everybody equally – like gravity)
and pizza truth (those truths which are based on peoples’ personal likes and
dislikes – such as pizza). At the present, it seems that almost everything is
now sliding into the category of “pizza truth”. What that means is everybody
gets to decide for him or herself what is true. But that becomes very
complicated when people have to work together to achieve some type of task. If
everybody is operating on their own interpretation of what is true, agreement
over even the smallest detail is going to be complicated.
Many years ago the man who condemned Jesus Christ to be executed on a
cross asked the question we, as a society, are struggling with, “What is
truth?” That question leads to dozens
more:
“What is the truth about good and evil?
What is the truth about how I should
live?
What is the truth concerning the way
I should treat other people?
What is the truth about what happens
after death?”
If Pontius Pilate was confused about truth, Jesus Christ sheds a
laser-like beam on the subject. He said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the
Life.” Jesus said what he meant and meant what he said. And his physical
resurrection from the dead gives him a credibility no one else in human history
has.
If you are in search of the truth, join us for one of our weekend
