In this lesson we will look at the second part of the sixth I AM in which Jesus claims to be the source of truth. Consider first that “by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities” (Colossians 1:16 ESV). Considering all the scientific research being done and the discoveries that are being made, we have evidence of a highly intelligent design. The source of all scientific truth that has been found and that is yet to be found is in him. Jesus is defined as the Word who spoke everything into existence. Through chosen people influence by the Spirit of God the Bible was written and has remained relevant over the centuries and after a lifetime of study its depths have never been reached by anyone. As the source of this amazingly vast and complex universe with internal information packed in such small places like the DNA code, Jesus can clearly claim to be the Truth.
“For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12 NET). A study of the life of Jesus reveals that his life demonstrated the above verse. He is the source and he came to live it out before us to show us that he is the way to the truth and what he has to say is true.
We will consider his claim of being the Life next time.
