Concerning “The Truth”

TRUTH “ 37 Pilate therefore said to Him, ‘Are You a king then?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.’ 38 Pilate said to Him, ‘What is truth?’ And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, ‘I find no fault in Him at all’” (Jn. 18:37, 38) All verses are from the NKJV unless noted.

Bible reveals truth... HISTORICAL “This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created...” (Gen. 2:4) INSTRUCTIONAL 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 PERSONAL modeled by Christ (Jn. 1:14; 14:6)

1.different “recognizably different” 2.detectable “capable of being seen, heard, tasted, or detected in some way” (Encarta Dictionary)

 Aquila/Priscilla knew Apollos needed more instruction (Acts 18:24-26) The WAY of truth is distinguishable from other ways (Ps. 119:30, 104, 128; 2 Pet. 2:2)  The way Jesus preached was distinguished from the scribes (Matt. 7:28, 29)

knowable (comprehension through study and experience)

“For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth” (2 Pet. 1:12, cf. 1 Tim. 2:3, 4) 20 “Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, 21 That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you?” (Prov. 22:20, 21) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (Jn. 8:32)

In fact, my assertion of ‘I don’t know’ was really more among the lines of ‘I don’t want to know’. As a young man growing up in a world full of temptations, it was convenient to ignore the need to be answerable to any higher spiritual authority. I practiced a thought and behavior pattern referred to as ‘willful blindness’ by the noted scholar and writer C.S. Lewis” (The Language of God, Collins p. 16).

The Problem: BUT Is not: “I cannot know” “submission” “I will not”

? ROOT The ROOT Problem: BUT Is not “I cannot know” “pride” (2 Cor. 10:1-5)

verifiable (examination, investigation) “Then the woman said to Elijah, ‘Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth’” (1 Kin. 17:24) “This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, ‘Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him’” (Jn. 3:2)

APPLICATION: Paul preaching the resurrection of the dead to skeptics “Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?” (Acts 26:8) skeptical response “Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, ‘Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!’” (Acts 26:24)

APPLICATION: Paul preaching the resurrection of the dead BUT the TRUTH was verifiable! Paul as witness! not easily dismissed appealed to Agrippa’s vast treasury of knowledge to listen patiently (v. 3)

APPLICATION: Paul preaching the resurrection of the dead Paul as witness! 1.manner of life well known (v. 4) 2.strictest sect of Judaism as a Pharisee (v. 5) 3.violently led wide-spread opposition against Jesus of Nazareth (vv. 9-11; cf. 8:3; ~140 miles to Damascus 9:13)

APPLICATION: Paul preaching the resurrection of the dead Paul as witness! 4.had seen Jesus after His crucifixion on road (26:13-18; 1 Cor. 9:1) others were present (Acts 26:13, 14) NOTE: doesn’t speak of his private meetings with Jesus as proof (cf. Acts 18:9; 23:11), but rather refers to this public encounter which changed his mindset

APPLICATION: Paul preaching the resurrection of the dead Paul as witness! 5.fulfillment of other ancient literature (26:22, 23) 6.the things Paul referred to were not done in a corner but were well known (26:26) The message of the Jesus as Christ was taken first to the original offenders/skeptics and not to foreign fields…Agrippa (an expert) cannot counter!

love it “...Therefore love truth and peace” (Zech. 8:19) believe it 2 Thess. 2:11, 12 obey it 1 Pet. 1:22 speak it Ephesians 4:25 coupled with reason (Acts 26:25) What it REQUIRES

It is not my job to originate any new truth Truth is objective, “It reads the same for every person who encounters it” Mark 16:16 reads the same to all men Submission is always a bigger problem than “interpretation ”

Mark 16:16 Do you believe? Have you been baptized? “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
