WHAT IS TRUTH?

John 18:38

 

I first learned

the importance of truth

at my mother’s knee

My children

learned it at mine

 

Life has taught me

truth is truth, even

if no one believes it

if no one wants to believe it

if every man is a liar

 

What’s true is true, even

if millions are spent

to disprove it

if it’s argued against

lobbied against

debated against

railed against

voted against

legislated against

 

Truth Is

 

absolute—

 

even if it’s watered down

to make it acceptable

skirted around

to soften its appeal                        

lubed with oil

so it goes down

nice and easy

sugar coated

to make it palatable

 

even if it looks

soooo, soooo good

 

Truth is Truth

whether it’s popular

or unpopular

 

…even

in the face

of persecution

 

Pilate asked,

What is truth?

 

The Psalmist wrote,

The sum of God’s word

is truth

 

Jesus said,

I Am the Truth

 

He also said,

Everyone on the side

of truth

listens to Me

 

I believe the supreme

Truth is a Man

and His unchanging Word

 

…even though           

He be crucified

 

Jesus—

Salvation Truth

Resurrection Truth                                                                                           

Living Truth

 

Truth—

I can stand up for
