Jesus' identification as truth.....

...from Patrick Henry Reardon's comments in St. James Daily Devotional Guide This identification of Jesus with the Truth does not mean only what is called "religious truth." It affirms, rather, that there is no truth outside of Jesus Christ. All truth subsists in His person. This thesis prompts two considerations. First, it is possible that any truth may prove to be an initial path to Christ. This is why Christians value highly the study and pursuit of truth. All truth, as truth, leads to Christ. Therefore, those who belong to Christ must be intent on "whatever things are true." (Phil. 4:8). Second, the biblical identification of Christ with the Truth precludes any view of truth that reduces it to a subjective persuasion or individual preference, such as "You have your truth, I have mine." It is plainly absurd to affirm, "Christ is the Truth," and simultaneously to pretend that there is no such thing as objective truth. On the contrary, those who identify Christ with the Truth will insist that truth is objective, unchanging, and knowable. Jesus' lordship is inseparable from the Truth. That is to say, He is not first "my Lord," but "the Lord." His lordship is objective, unchanging, and knowable. This lordship is not a truth. It is the root of all truth.
