Jesus is the revealed truth of God. His existence in the world is for this purpose, that truth through him might be manifested, or exposed. Truth up to this point was not revealed in full but only in part through the prophets of the Old Testament. But through his person (Jesus), truth was fully known. Listen to what Jesus said to Pilate, just before he was crucified about why he had come to earth (John 18:37):
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.
Pilate asked him was he a king, referring to the King of the Jews. Jesus said in so many words 'that's true I am a king, but the real reason I was born is to reveal truth'. No one knows what "truth" really is but Jesus! He is the only one who was in Heaven with God and came down from Heaven as both man and God.
Jesus was born to reveal truth! He is the only person ever born for this purpose. He was sent from Heaven to reveal the heart and desires of God to the people of Earth. Because he came down from Heaven only he can reveal the will or desires of God for us, to us!
18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he (Jesus) hath declared him. (The Father) John 1:18
No man from the earth has ever seen God the Father; only Jesus who was with the Father in Heaven before he came to the Earth.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him (The Father) that sent me. John 6:38
Here, Jesus explains the reason he came to earth, not to do what he himself wanted to do (his own will), but to do what God the Father sent him to do (God the Father's will).
40 And this is the will of him (The Father) that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40 (All parenthesis are mine)
In this scripture, Jesus explains what the will of God is for us. And that is that everyone who sees or understands who Jesus is, and accepts and believes in what he has done for them on the cross, will recieve everlasting or eternal life. Eternal life is the life of God. Jesus also adds that he will raise such people up or resurrect them at the last day!
The above is "truth"! This is what Jesus came to reveal and to fulfill! In John 3:16-17, Jesus tells what the truth of God is in his own words:
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him (Jesus) should not perish (in Hell), but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but the world through him might be saved.
Jesus came to the Earth from Heaven to reveal this "truth" to you! If you will repent of your sins and believe the "truth" you will be given the everlasting life of God and receive a place in Heaven to live when you die, or when Jesus returns (which ever comes first)!
Do it now!
There is no time to waste!
Receive Jesus into your heart today and live for his return!
