. . . the truth.
"You can't handle the truth!" Famous Jack Nicholson line delivered with malevolent intensity in the film A Few Good Men.
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Jesus Christ
Other "truth-full" quotes:
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Blinded by the truth.
The truth hurts.
The truth can be intimidating, enlightening, refreshing, or annoying. It can transform, incense, convict, or anger. People either embrace it, argue with it, or refuse to believe it. It can be hard to discover, easy to find, or hidden to those who don't want to see it.
The above line from A Few Good Men is indeed indicative of many. Truth eludes them because admitting it would mean they've lived a lie, believed a lie, or wanted a lie to be true. Many will argue against absolute truth(s), citing different "opinions" in the scientific, moral, intellectual, and/or spiritual communities.
Christians don't just believe the bible is true, they know it is. Their introduction to Jesus Christ is nothing short of supernatural, and they can no longer entertain alternative belief systems. Their relationship has become personal, their knowledge of the spiritual realm explanatory of much of the evil in this world and the workings and influences of a fallen humanity.
Truth is a precious, pervasive, and life-changing commodity. Available. Discernible. Incredible.
Truth is exceptional and ordinary. Spectacular and simple. Beautiful and terrifying. Amazing and obvious.
Few seek it. There's something about . . . the Truth.
Father, we are dead without the Truth. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
