Truth

in #poetry9 years ago (edited)

Truth is relative they say,

Can't you buy your own on eBay?

Is my truth, your truth?

Could my tree bear your fruit?

Dim or bright?

Is illumination: but a perception of light?

What refracts work through Spirit's prism?

How is Jesus not just another -ism?

When water cleanses a heart by a Word

What is understood?

How is He heard?

Is Truth not a Person?

Recorded in every Bible version?

Son of God, Son of Man

Eternity is His hands.

Truth is Jesus

As an eye sees

As a spirit needs

As a heart receives.

Opacity, translucence or transparency

How much of Son shines out through me?

And how much of me?

     37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? 
          Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. 
          To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, 
          that I should bear witness unto the truth. 
          Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
    38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? 
          And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, 
          and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
     Jn 18:37-38, KJV, 1611

       5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; 
           and how can we know the way? 
       6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: 
           no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
       Jn 14:5-6

       7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: 
          and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
       8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, 
           and it sufficeth us. 
       9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, 
            and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? 
            he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; 
           and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 
       Jn 14:7-9
