Search for Truth, #1

Matthew 2:9
     ...the wise men went on their way.  Once again the star appeared to them, guiding them to Bethlehem.

     How desperately the world still needs a guide to the Savior!  Innately most search for truth--at least something they can believe to be is truth.  We no longer have a star to follow, but God has not left us without guidance.  Truth is accessible.

John 18:37, 38
     Pilate replied, "You are a king then?"
     "You sat that I am a king, and you are right," said Jesus.  "I was born for that purpose.  And I came to bring truth to the world.  All who love truth recognize that what I say is true."
     "What is truth?" Pilate asked.  Then he went out again...."

    Pilate must not have really been seeking an answer, because he left without waiting for Jesus to reply.  Pilate apparently thought he had asked a question that had no answer, or he did not want the answer, or he did not want the answer from Jesus. In any event, he didn't persevere in a search for truth.
    There is absolute truth and we can know it.  It may take work to find it, but it is worth the effort.  Many truths have no relevance for our lives, but the one truth that every human needs to confirm is the truth of who Jesus is and how he wants us to live.

John 14:6
     Jesus told him [Thomas], "I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one can come to the Father except through me."
