Truth Is a Person

Let me say boldly that it is not the difficulty of discovering truth but the unwillingness to obey it that makes it so rare among men. Our Lord said, “I am the Truth.” And again He said, “The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Truth, therefore, is not hard to find for the very reason that it is seeking us! So we learn that Truth is not a thing for which we must search, but a Person to whom we must hearken! In the New Testament, multitudes came to Jesus for physical help, but only rarely did one seek Him out to learn the Truth. The whole picture in the gospels is one of a seeking Savior, not one of seeking men. The Truth was hunting for those who would receive it, and relatively few did, for “many are called, but few are chosen.”

Verse

Then said Jesus . . . And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:31–32

Thought

So we learn that Truth is not a thing for which we must search but a Person to whom we must hearken!

Prayer

Lord, You have said that You are the Truth. Now please make me listen. I am ready.
