Finding the Truth

Finding The Truth

Then Pilate said to Him: ‘So you are a King?’  Jesus answered: ‘You say that I am a King. For this purpose, I was born and for this purpose, I have come into the world to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.’  Pilate said to Him: ‘What is truth?

John [18:37]-38

We are living through unique times, perhaps like no other in history. Yet the other day when I heard the announcement of Senator Harris’ nomination; so much conflicting information came out that I felt like Pilate and wondered: What is the truth?

We often hear the phrase “God is Love”.  What would happen if we heard “God is Truth”.  Would that cause us to be more responsible in our information gathering as we make decisions? Would we not take allegations at face value without deeper knowledge of the facts and most importantly? Would we strive to live into the truth knowing that we are living into God’s Love?

If we strive for the truth in whatever we do, we strive for a peaceful harmony.  We can disagree, have our own views, and discuss our perspectives without harming anyone in the process.  We just need to search for the truth with love.

Praying for our country….
