John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Truth stands alone and unchanged by human perception or acceptance. This was my definition of truth. It stands in the light of my belief that Jesus Christ is Truth. Do you know Him? Perception! Have you accepted Him? Acceptance. Jesus Christ stands alone as the single source of accessible truth. Everything which is not by revelation of Jesus Christ is merely perception and subject to human frailty, corruption and lies of the enemy.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44) being the Antichrist, being opposed to Christ, the opposite, just as Christ was born of God, full of truth. (John 1:14)

Note please this phrase in 2 Thessalonians 2, “received not the love of truth”. Only God or man can love and for truth to love, He must be Man and God. This is only my logical expression of what I know to be the revealed truth, that Jesus Christ is Truth. He revealed that to me as He revealed Himself to me.

You may call that my perception and if that is your choice, I accept it. The awareness and acceptance of truth is in the revealed Christ. It is personal and for you to know the truth you must accept the truth, Jesus Christ.

I cannot do that for you.

John1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Here we have order. The Word, Jesus Christ is the Word become flesh, the express image of God, His Glory. Secondly, we have the expression of grace, all that He is and does by virtue in unmerited favor. Then there is truth.

I cannot express every aspect of God’s grace in our lives. I can only recognize just a few of those gracious moments in my own life. I am sure there are many more than have been performed on my behalf that I am not aware of as yet. I may never know them all. If I were to list all the possibilities it would take a lifetime of growth in Christ and since we are here to grow in Christ, let us push on.

Truth! What is truth? If you know anything about me by now, you can see that I will not settle for those worldly definitions and expressions of truth. If you look to dictionaries for definitions of truth you will find in some of them the admission that truth is a perception. Worldly men only believe what they perceive and for them that truth.

Is the sky blue? Many will agree, yes, the sky is blue. The truth is a little more complex. This only goes to demonstrate objective truths. Objective truths are only understood to the extent of observation and analysis we can conclude that a consensus is drawn. Truth by committee.

Allow me to define truth to you in my understanding. You may not accept it. Truth stands alone and unchanged by human perception or acceptance. We do err when we add adjectives to truth, like objective and absolute. Those are concept words which we have chosen to explain our limitations and intolerance. They are the basic illusions of perception.

Some things are not simple.
