"Pilate asked him, 'What is truth?'"(John 18:38)
I will tell you something true, right now it is snowing in Wenonah. How long that will be the truth, I don't know, but right now it is the truth.
How do we actually know what truth is? We are told to tell the truth, don't lie etc. How we experience things in life makes them our truth. And yet sometimes our truths are not the same as other people's truths. It gets confusing.
We get bombarded with lots of truths from the media, often contradicting each other. How are we to syphon through these truths and find what is reality. If we say something enough times does it just become true?
Pilate never got an answer to his question. Jesus had said those who belong to the truth would listen to his voice. I try to listen for that voice, and sometimes I believe I hear it. Sometimes it convicts me, sometimes it encourages me, sometimes it applauds.
The truth seems to be that when we are listening, thinking and praying, the actual truth has a fighting chance of surfacing from all those other truths competing for our attention.
Blessings,
Ed
