The Real Truth

"What is truth Pilate asked with this he went out again to the Jews and said, " I find no basis for a charge against Him.
John 18:38

Pontius Pilate asked Jesus Christ this question as the latter was being tried on charge of sedition. Pontius Pilate then was procurator, a governor in the land of Israel. During his reign, truth had been irrelevant in his political  conquest. Bribery and graft and corruption, linked with murder and violence, had been his tools in maintaining Roman supremacy.
  One can readily understand his quest a for truth been in his grasp, he would have possessed that which men have been seeking since the dawn of humanity. This words, "What is truth?" Found neither their beginning nor ending with Pilate several hundred years before Pilate, there were the Greek philosophers who spent their lives seeking truth, and today, centuries later many will seek truth. We have made tremendous strides down the corridor of knowledge, but the search for truth continues.
   A major news magazine describes "synthetic thinking"/as one of the 21st" century most powerful ideas, but anything synthetic is  substitute for the real thing. There is no such thing as "synthetic truth"! Believing something to be true, when in reality it is false, is synthetic.
  This answer to " What is truth" finds its perfect expression in Christ, Jesus said, I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the life. No one  comes to the Father but through me" (John 14:6). As you  begin to fathom the mind of Christ, you will begin to understand what Jesus meant. He also said, "You shall know the truth [ that is Christ] and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32).
