Our Gold
Standard!
Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except
through Me.”
John 14: 6
In our modern world, two words have become
increasingly common in our cultural conversation:
disinformation and misinformation, with only a
shade of difference between the two.
They both share a common element: deviating from the
truth. Since social
media allows all individuals to have
a public and potentially influential voice, discerning what
is true and what isn’t becomes increasingly challenging.
Even the most well-intentioned err when it comes to truth.
Anglican scholar N. T.
Wright, author of several books on
Bible and theology, has humorously said, “I’m sure about
25 percent of what I say is wrong. I just don’t know which
25%!”
When we search for truth, we must pursue an upward
trajectory that ends with Jesus Christ and His Word.
We start with rumor and hearsay, progress to trusted
sources and authorities, and measure it all against
the One who said, “I am... the
truth.”
In your own pursuit of
truth,
be sure to measure everything against the
gold standard for truth: Christ and His Word.
"The Word of God is perfect; it
is precious and pure; it is truth
itself."
Martin Luther
