Who can show you the REAL Truth?

If you have a problem with the engine in your car, who do you go and see to get it fixed? Obviously, you would take it to a mechanic. And if you have pains in your chest, who would you go to see? Obviously, once again, you would go to see a doctor.

Why wouldn’t you go to see a mechanic for your chest pains or a doctor to fix your car? Because those things are not their specialties. A doctor is an expert at healing the body and a mechanic is an expert at fixing your car.

It’s the same when seeking who can show you the real truth. If you want to find the real truth you need to go to an expert on the truth.

The greatest expert on matters of truth is Jesus Christ because to put it plainly, He IS the truth. It’s not just that He knows about the truth, like a mechanic knows about cars. Jesus IS the truth and the only truth that leads to life is in Him, as the scriptures say:

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

And also;

You did not so learn Christ! -- assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus. (Ephesians 4:20-21)

In our attempts to learn the truth from and about Jesus there is one source that we have been given. The Bible.

The Bible contains the truth about Jesus. The words in the Bible are the words of God and are the truth, as scripture also tells us in 2 Timothy 3:15-17 and John 17:17. If we are to find the truth we must listen to Jesus.

But just listening to Him is not enough.

For the word to be active and working in our lives we must be like the wise man who built upon the rock. We have to DO the words, not merely read them or listen to them. It is not until you do what the truth says that change takes place.

Call to action:

Go to Jesus through prayer. Study of the word of truth, given by God and listen to the words of Jesus. And don’t just read them, DO them!
