Truth
One claim to truth excludes another claim to truth. Both can be wrong, but both can’t be right. (Chuck Colson, former government official)
In a day when claims to truth are broadcast widely in political, religious, and social debate, Colson’s remark is challenging. Everyone seems to have his or her own truth. Truth is relative, they say; it’s whatever works out well for you. As we are reminded, however, when arguments are clearly mutually exclusive, it’s wise to discover the only one that is true in reality.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. . . [And] When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth” (John 14:6; 16:13).
