Truth

Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:  ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone’?  Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed”   Luke 20:17-18

truth;

from where does it come?

to where does it go?

rattling around,

careening back and forth

like some misguided missile,

and just when you think you have the answer,

you come to the stark, brutal realization,

you’ve only scratched the surface;

truth;

so seemingly simple,

yet so profoundly complex,

separating darkness from light,

bringing dawn to the fading night,

cutting hard and deep

with surgeon-like precision and skill,

providing comfort and mercy,

dispensing perfect judgment and justice;

truth is absolute,

truth is forever,

truth never changes,

truth never compromises,

truth is condemnation,

truth is salvation

all rolled into one;

truth is the stone

upon which everyone who falls

will be broken to pieces,

but he on whom it falls

will be crushed;

truth is Jesus Christ.
