Jesus promises that “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Truth is demanding. Truth insists that we change and conform to the ways of Jesus. The world cannot accept the truth as it did not accept Jesus. The world will crucify truth so that it can continue in its blind, compromised state. For the follower of Jesus, the truth highlights our failings, our faults, our character flaws. Only when we remain in the truth do we come out of the world and its darkness.
