“Pilate said to Him, ‘What is truth?’”
JOHN 18:38
We
are often unprepared for Truth, which is why Truth is revealed to us
progressively. We must “grow up into Him” – we could not handle it
otherwise. Even the little bit of
Truth which is revealed to us often upsets us at our deepest
foundations. We must be willing to live with the uncertainty and pain
which Truth brings. But if we accept the Truth, and totally give
ourselves to it, it will begin to change us. We will begin to be
conformed to it, and it will become less painful.
I
am convinced that if we refuse to accept the Truth we have been given
then we will eventually lose it. This is why some grow
spiritually and some do not. Even though they may acknowledge the same
Truth, they may not be willing to accept the consequences of being
transformed by that Truth, thus what little they have soon becomes dead
manna.
