“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.
