THE CHRISTIAN TRUTH FUNCTION

how is christ different from buddha confucius socrates or mohammad ... the truth was told about these others but jesus is the truth ... when each of these others meets divinity they meet jesus ... and that's true of us all ... we all meet jesus ... we all come face to face with absolute truth ... most of us gradually across a full lifetime ... some of us suddenly ... a few before they die ... myself I can only imagine but I hear of the effects of the contact on others and I feel its anticipation in myself ... don't we all ... or what's a yearning for ... isn't it a short-sightedness to take a means for an end ... to settle for the relative when you must have the absolute ... every good argument comes to this same adroit conclusion ... to the end of disputation ... asking questions can be tons of fun but there must finally be an answer ... not one having us sit down shaking our heads eternally ... nor one having us blast off into splendor endlessly ... but the presence as his spirit sustains us face and voice ... god's living truth
