"Jesus answered, "'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" -John 14:6
Who is Jesus? It is no mystery. We don't have to guess. We know who He is because He told us who He is. He used metaphors to reveal His true identity. Jesus is the absolute truth. He made the claim when He said:
I AM the light - absolutely true knowledge!
I Am the door/good shepherd - absolutely true pathway to life abundant.I AM the bread of life - absolutely true life over death.
I AM the true vine - absolutely true fruit!
Absolute truth is absolutely true! Unlike some may think - that there is no such things as an absolute truth - Jesus IS the absolute truth. I was taught when I earned my doctorate that research that the search for knowledge required empirical evidence - evidence that you can see, smell, taste, hear, and/or touch. And if you didn't have that kind of evidence, it must be questioned as to the truth of the claims.
There are people who do not believe in absolute truth, and so they do not believe in God, Jesus, and/or the Holy Spirit because they can't verify the claims with empirical evidence. But I ask you, when you come to the end of your life and you breathe your last and you discover that there is life after death and everything in the Bible is absolutely true - wouldn't you rather believe and find out you are right than not believe and find out you were wrong?
True knowledge can be found in Jesus as He is the light and leads us to the absolute truth. The true pathway to a life abundant is found in Jesus, for He is the "door" and the "good shepherd." The true life-over-death is found in Jesus, as He is the "bread of life" - His body broken for you and me. The true fruit - leaving an eternal legacy - is found in Jesus when we live for Him. And that's the truth - the whole truth - and the absolute truth!
