In the very long, very beautiful Gospel today one line really struck me. I had never really noticed it before, since it is not a seemingly important part of the story. Jesus is talking to Pilate and says he came to testify to the truth and that those who belong to the truth listen to His voice. Pilate responded saying, "What is truth?"
Jesus made no reply. So what is truth? I feel like in life we are all constantly searching for it. We look for truth, expect the truth from those we meet, but do we ever know what it is? Our world today insists that everything is relative, what is right for you is not right for me. My god is different from your god. Truth becomes nothing more than opinion. So what is truth?
The truth is so far beyond us. Jesus is the truth. Jesus, our God Who came down to earth to give us a sign of His infinite love. Jesus Who suffered a horrendous death at our hands. Jesus Who longs for us, but gives us free will to reject Him. This is the truth. This infinite love. This wonderful God. This Beautiful Savior. This is truth.
Pax Christi!
