Truth

“Truth” – John 18:33-38

Sermon by Dr. George C. Anderson from the fifth Sunday in Lent, March 21, 2021. "...to some degree our passage from John’s Gospel is about all of us. We are all to some degree members of herds with some kind of group-think going on where we sometimes cannot see the truth even when it is standing in front of us, battered and bruised because of our certainty and sense of self-righteousness. Maybe what we can see, though, is that we can at least do better by trying to be about the work of forgiveness and reconciliation that Jesus calls for from the cross. You see, we don’t have to know the whole truth to begin being the imperfect body of Christ that works for reconciliation. The place to begin is not learning the whole truth and then convincing the world. The place to begin is in humility, knowing that we do not have the whole truth, and that some of the damage to God’s Embodied-Innocence-and-Love is partly our own doing."
