1. John 14:6-11

2.  Absolute Truth: truth that is So real So important So complete So perfect So necessary  that all people everywhere need to respond to it

3.  Pluralism says absolute truth cannot be known  Christianity: Our understanding is not absolute  We have come to know absolute truth; he’s a person  The whole world needs to know him

4.  The Absolute God has made himself known in Jesus He is God  John 1:1-3: The Word is God and Creator of everything 1:14: This word became flesh  The Apostles saw, heard and recorded faithfully

5.  His Words are Attractive and Relevant  He Made Some Amazing Claims  The New Testament explicitly affirms the deity of Christ His opponents understood this The disciples Could not; that would be blasphemy The resurrection changed that

6.  His Spotless Life  His Miracles are Evidence to Back his Claims  His Spotless Life + His Words + His Miracles An unique combination

7.  The Subjective Approach to Truth  The Gospels put into the mouth of Jesus what the early Christians believed What’s behind novels like The Da Vinci Code

8.  They were Written as History  Early Christians were committed to Truth  Jesus Said these things in public  Where they can be checked, they’ve been found to be accurate  Teachings of respected teachers were carefully passed down  Nothing about the controversies in the church
