Summary

In week four of our The Genius of Jesus series, Mosaic Lead Pastor Erwin McManus answers the question of what real truth looks like, and how to find it in your life. Pastor Erwin explains that truth is essential for living a life that is trustworthy.

He shares that many of us have been confronted by someone who risked their relationship with us to tell us a hard truth. And though truth can be difficult to hear, he candidly shares that he hopes to never be someone that God thinks cannot handle the truth.

In a conversation between Jesus and Pontius Pilate in Matthew 27, Pilate asks Jesus "What is truth?" Jesus had shared with Pilate that his purpose in coming to the earth was to testify to the truth. In that moment, the essence of truth was looking right at Pilate; truth is not simply based on information, but on one person who is the source of all truth. That person is Jesus.

0:38.5	that we could capture every insight, every aspect, every nuance of that genius, but it's
0:46.3	impossible.
0:47.3	We just go deeper and deeper and deeper.
0:49.2	And the same with this particular chapter, The Genius of the True.
0:54.1	I mean, just thinking about this chapter has already sent my mind into so much chaos.
0:59.9	Every time I try to think of an example of something that's absolutely true, I start
1:04.6	immediately being rushed with the thoughts of all the exceptions to the rule.
1:11.2	In fact, it's really challenging to find something that is always absolutely true where
1:16.6	you cannot find an exception if you're open-minded to it.
1:21.2	And I think that's one of the great challenges is that, well, we human beings, we're always
1:25.9	it feels to me at least a step away from the true.
1:30.7	It feels as if that even when we think something is true or the truth, we can later in our
1:36.8	lives discover that, well, it wasn't as true as we thought.
1:41.3	And when we look at history, and I remember early on, and some of my own studies wondering,
