What is Truth?
Caesar asked this question to Jesus before he had Him crucified.
I’m one of those people that get caught up on a simple phrase and try to examine it and pick it apart until I think I understand it. Maybe a little simple minded… regardless I have had this question on my mind all day.
What is Truth? HMMMMM
Do we really know?
The American Heritage Dictionary defines it like this…
truth
1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
2. A statement proven to be or accepted as true.1. Reality; actuality.
2. often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.
Think about this for a minute…
As I was reading this, the first definition is what stuck out most to me.
Conformity to fact…
Conformity? Doesn’t that mean that when we find truth that we are to become like it? And so, if we don’t act like it, does that mean that we don’t know the truth? This is scary to me. We speak of this truth and even believe it to be fact we even teach it to others, but are we conforming to the fact of this truth?
Any thoughts?
but this was an AWESOME post honey! And AMEN to all of it. I want so much...
