The Truth
Mini series – Part 2)

Jesus said “I Am the Truth.”
John 14:6
Today's Bible Reading: John 17:1-5.
In John 14:6, Jesus declared Himself as "The Truth." It is important for us to remember, that this is not what people said of the Lord, it is a statement the Lord said concerning Himself.
Today, I want to look at what it means for the Lord Jesus to be "The Truth."
First, when the Lord Jesus said, “I Am the Truth," He was declaring that He is the embodiment of truth. In a world where truth is often distorted or hidden, Jesus is the ultimate source of truth. He is not just one of many voices in the crowd; He is the only one who speaks the truth. Everything that Jesus said is true, and everything He does is right.
Secondly, Jesus is The Truth that sets us free. In John 8:32, Jesus says, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." When we come to know Christ, we are set free from the lies and deceptions of the world. We no longer have to be enslaved by the opinions of others or by the false narratives that society tells us. Jesus sets us free by revealing the truth to us.
Thirdly, Jesus is The Truth that brings us into a relationship with God. In John 17:3, Jesus says, "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Jesus came to reveal the truth about who God is and to bring us into a personal relationship with Him. Through Christ, we can know God and experience His love and saving grace.
Fourthly, the Lord Jesus is The Truth that transforms us. In John 15:5, Jesus says, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." When we abide in Jesus, we are transformed by His truth. He changes us from the inside out and enables us to bear fruit that glorifies God.
Jesus Christ is "The Truth." He is the ultimate source of truth, the truth that sets us free, the truth that brings us into a relationship with God, and the truth that transforms us. As we follow Jesus, let us seek to know Him more deeply and to live in the light of His truth.
Prayer: Great and Mighty Father God, I pray that you would help me to always seek the truth that is found in Jesus, and that you would give me the wisdom and discernment to recognise and reject the lies of this world. In His name. Amen.
