Jesus and the Truth
Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. (John 3: 33)
The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts His testimony. Whoever does accept His testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to Him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. (John 3: 31-36)
Our human soul hungers for the truth and seeks it through our intelligence. Where does sin come from? It comes from wanting to pursue what we consider our good regardless of the truth, by bending it to our desires and not the other way around. How much of a Christian are we really? Do we always and readily recognize that Jesus is the Truth who leads us to His Father, our True Good and the source of all life?
