Jesus: The Living Truth
Jesus spoke of truth as a living, personal reality embodied in Himself. According to interpretations, truth is not merely a set of abstract ideas or judgments; rather, it is the very person of Jesus Christ—the second Person of the Holy Trinity and the Word of God. In other words, He asserted that truth is the one through whom God revealed Himself to humanity.
For example, as noted in one source, truth is understood as “God-Man, Lord Jesus Christ; Truth is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity” – meaning that truth is directly connected to His divine nature ( link txt). Similarly, another text emphasizes that through His revelation, Christ informed the people that He is “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” underscoring the unique role of Jesus in establishing truth and his ability to lead to the Father ( link txt, link txt).
It is also noted that truth is not simply words or teachings, but a living personality incarnate in the form of Jesus Christ. Thus, truth is an integral part of His revelation and the means by which salvation is accomplished, since only in and through Christ do we come to know the Father ( link txt, link txt).
Finally, there is the view that the only true reality and truth in the world lie in Jesus Christ, and anything that deviates from Him is regarded as falsehood and deception ( link txt). This underscores the exclusivity and absolute nature of truth, with Christ as its central figure.
Thus, Jesus proclaimed that truth is Himself, the living Word of God, through whom our salvation and understanding of divine reality are achieved.
