TRUTH IS IN JESUS The Christian has a simple calling, and that is to manifest, or show forth, the truthﾗand the truth is in Jesus. Some people come to church desiring to be religious, but not desiring the truth. They look upon religion as a low-calorie dessert. Its nice, a little sweet, and not too calorie-laden or addicting. Theyll have a bite of it. Religion to them is an add-on to the main course of life, nothing more. The only problem with this approach comes when a seeker who only wants a bite of religion comes into contact with Gods Word and is confronted head-on by truth. Suddenly religion is applied to and intrudes upon life. The truth affects how a man runs his business. It affects how he treats his wife. It affects the places he goes and the things he says and does. It even begins to impact his goals and dreams. Suddenly religion gives way to relationshipﾗand it becomes far too big for a dessert plate! C. S. Lewis was an intellectual agnostic when he met Jesus Christ. This brilliant British writer and teacher came face-to-face with the claims of Christ, and even as he wrestled intellectually, his conscience confirmed that he had indeed found the truth in Jesus. Our Savior said it Himself: I am the way, the truth and the life. And so He is.
