So, I’ve had a bit of a revelation about the truth just recently. Not sure why it took so long but here it is, from my perspective/experience anyway.
I imagine you’ve heard the saying “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” which is John 8:32. I’ve always thought of this as just knowing the truth about something that it will help you or “set you free” regarding what you know or understand as “the truth” .
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Just recently I’ve coupled this with John 14:6 where Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. “
So, the truth is more that just a concept or an idea but a person, Jesus. Jesus says he is “the truth“, so by knowing Jesus, by continuing in His word (the bible) He will set you free!
Mind blown!
