The cover of the current issue of Time magazine asks the question: is truth dead? In what is know as the “post-modern” mentality we easily accept that there are differing opinions. The problem with that way of thinking is that some things are not a matter of opinion but of facts. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is about global warming, the facts will determine how our climate changes. Thus, when Jesus is confronting his contemporaries he hold the mirror of truth up to them. Don’t go looking in the Bible to justify what you think already, he says, but instead dig deep to find the truth in the Bible. That challenge is extended to us. We must do the work of uncovering the truth.
