The One Who Claims All Truth
Humans have limited understanding of our world and the world beyond; not that we’re unintelligent—far from it. The Bible makes it clear that God gave man a sound mind, and from the beginning, people were capable of accomplishing amazing things. The construction of the great pyramids, modern scientific advances, and our knowledge of the cosmos is a testament to how much humans can know and achieve. We’re even capable of presenting truth in various ways through art, teaching, and moral agendas, but man’s abilities are finite. There is One, though, that claims all truth: the person Jesus Christ.
John 1:17 says, “For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
In other words, man has been capable over time of building structure and order in society. Around the time of Moses and the 10 Commandments and the laws that govern the Israelites, other cultures were doing somewhat similar things. The Code of Hammurabi, a set of Babylonian laws, helped create a functioning society, and in 1254, the Magna Carta, a set of English laws that was the forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, brought England out of the Dark ages.
Yet the Bible is very clear that ultimate truth, the sum of all reality, is found only in Jesus Christ. It is in Him that we unlock the mystery of who we are as individuals. He knows each of us, and invites us into relationship with him.
People all over the world follow their own set of rules. It’s often said that truth is true if it’s true for you, meaning of course that each of us has the right to follow his or her own reasoning. For example, to a person who frees himself from moral constraints, love can mean many things.
In 2 John 1:6 we read, “And this is love, that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you’ve heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.”
Do you see the difference? We can tell ourselves anything; that love, for example, can have many definitions, but God tells us in His Word that true love is being obedient to our Creator.
In the end, the world is full of philosophies and opinions of men. Some see truth differently, but only in the Bible do we find true truth. For Jesus Christ is the ultimate truth.
Let’s pray.
Father God, the world can be a dangerous place. Help us to continue relying on you and as our ultimate source of truth so that we can make the best for us and our families. Your Word is our guide, Jesus’ name, amen.

Today we conclude our four-part series on truth. Humans have limited understanding of our world and the world beyond. Not that we're unintelligent, far from it. The Bible makes it clear that God gave man a sound mind, and from the beginning, people were capable of accomplishing amazing things. The construction of the great pyramids, modern scientific advances and our knowledge of the cosmos is a testament to how much humans can know and achieve. We are even capable of presenting truth in various ways, through art, teaching and moral agendas, but man's abilities are finite. There is one, though, that claims all truth the person, jesus Christ. John 1.17 says For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. In other words, man has been capable, over time, of building structure and order in society. Around the time of Moses and the Ten Commandments and the laws that govern the Israelites, other cultures were doing somewhat similar things.
