Episode Details

When Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” He reveals that truth is not an abstract idea or a set of facts it is God Himself. Whenever people detach “truth” from the Person of the Lord, they fall into grave error, whether it’s Gandhi identifying truth with India or Marxists equating truth with their political cause, becoming self-righteous and ruthless in the process. The same danger lurks for all of us: we naturally try to baptize our preferences, parties, and agendas as “the truth.” Scripture insists, however, that Truth transcends us and is found only in Christ. To serve the Truth requires humility, the admission that we are mere sinners saved by grace, unprofitable servants whose causes never fully embody God’s perfect standard. We serve Truth best through humility, grace, patience, and forbearance. The question is simple and searching: Are you serving the Truth or serving yourself?
