In week seven of One Ekklesia we focused on elevating our thoughts on what is Truth. There are many facts to be discovered in this world, but there is only one truth and the truth is Jesus Christ. Jesus called himself the way, the truth and the life. He is the word who became flesh. He is the Word of Truth. (In contrast it is interesting to note that the devil is the father of lies and lying is his native language. John 8:44)
In Jesus’ prayer to his Father in John 17 he said, “I have given them your word…your word is truth.” Jesus revealed his Father through the things he said and did – who he was.
Jesus Christ holds all things together (Colossians 1:17) and the entire universe was formed at his command (Hebrews 11:3).
Jesus has been given to us as the revelation of God – the truth. We read the scriptures with the desire to know him. (John 5:39). Because we are made one together in Christ, we become part of the truth.
Truth is always singular in the scriptures, although it has many facets. It is unfortunate that anyone would consider it elementary to stay on the topic of Jesus Christ. Since he is the truth, he is unfathomable and his riches are inexhaustible.
My Ekklesia is to the tune “Praise to the Lord the Almighty”:
