What is the truth, and who is The Truth? Lack of knowledge is described as being ignorant, and this is synonymous to being blind. There is a saying credited to Gandhi, which goes thus “I was searching for truth in God, but I found God in truth.” There is only One Truth, or knowledge of Truth worth knowing.
The answer to the question of ‘what is the truth’ is ‘the teachings’ of Christ. While the answer to the question of ‘who is The Truth’ is Christ. The Scriptures in the gospel of John recorded these answers.
John 8:31-32; Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 14:6; Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.
What is the context for the freedom being talked about here? This can be found in the book of prophet Isaiah, in Isaiah 61:1; The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners [or the blind].
The good news is, Jesus Christ is God. Upon this confession is the true Church of God built. This confession, or knowledge sets you free. This is Light in the world of darkness.
