Recently someone commented to me that ever-popular phrase, "truth is relative." Is it? IF that is true -(just for the sake of argument, I'll assume it is) - must I assume that it is an idea belonging to some, unprovable, not really useful to humanity as a whole? I would propose that opinions are relative; perspectives are relative; dogma is (most often) relative; understanding truth is relative : the truth is not.
I believe God's Word, The Holy Bible, to be true and the truth; (that's just a faith thing with me.) It's where I turn when I want to get to the root of things like truth, and the meaning of life, and other such things. And yet, Jesus-God, through His inspired word, tells me that HE is the truth. "I am the way, the truth, and the life." When I think of Jesus saying this, I am suddenly aware of a very Personal aspect of truth. In a paradoxical way, this strengthens my faith that God's Word is truth too, since through it I learn of a Living Truth : an infinite, Creative source of all reality, far beyond the limited realms of my senses and intellect.
