More About Truth

I'm fully convinced I know "the Truth." When Jesus said He IS "the Truth", I was fully convinced, once and for all.

But "unpacking" (as the current phrase is) what it means that Jesus IS the Truth has taken me 30-some years, and I'm nowhere near done yet.

One thing I think He meant by His identification is that "truth" is absolute and exclusive...as He is Himself.

An interesting passing comment in a book I was reading this week about the English language suddenly connected to Jesus' statement. In a section on the inconsistencies of our language, the author noted that we say "a lie," but "the truth."

It seems that even by the way we speak our language, we acknowledge that untruth manifests in multiple forms: but truth, only One.
