REFLECTION - Peter Obi
Are you hungry for truth? Jesus proclaimed that he is the Truth, the
Way, and the Life (John 14:6). Truth is not something we create nor is
it our discovery. It is the gift of God who is the possessor and giver
of all truth. Jesus tells his disciples that it is the role of the Holy
Spirit to reveal what is true, right, and good. How can this be? Many
skeptics of truth don't want to believe in an absolute, objective, and
unchanging Truth. If truth is objective then
it must be asserted to as trustworthy and right and be submitted to as
authoritative and binding. Some fear the truth because they think it
will inhibit their freedom to act, think, and judge as they wish. Jesus
told his disciples that the truth will set you free (John 8:32). The
truth liberates us from whatever is false, misleading, doubtful, or
deceptive. In God there is no lie or falsehood since he is is utterly
true, righteousness, just, and good. Since he is the author and source
of all that is true, then the closer we draw near to him in order to
listen to his word and understand his mind and will for us, the more we
will grow in the knowledge of God and of his great love, wisdom, and
provision for us.
