Psalm 119:30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

I remember the first time I saw abstract art. I didn’t know what to make of it. People would stare and cock their heads to one side and say “Hmmm!” Some were challenged to define this new media. Suddenly everyone had an opinion.

You could never be put down for what you saw in abstract art, after all, it was designed to invoke imagination. The truth of the art was to be found in the viewer, in how it touched or moved the viewer. No one was wrong, everyone had a right to their own opinion.

Unbelievers scoff at the idea of absolute truths. It offends their sensibilities. It denies them of their right to free thought. It calls in to question their ability to judge. Most people I have met who take this line of reasoning in reality do not understand truth.

Truth is. It does not change because of your understanding, agreement, awareness or presence. Does that sound vaguely familiar to those of you who read scripture?

Malachi 3:6a For I am the Lord, I change not;

To know the truth one must come to know the Lord who declared “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”. Without Christ, life is but abstract art, and everyone has an opinion.
