Summary
Jesus is saying we can know truth that there is an objective truth because notice what it says about Jesus. So when Jesus says he is the way and the truth and the life Scripture says, well who is Jesus? Today we're going to start with kind of the purpose of revelation or not the purpose of revelation and dispelling a couple of myths and making sure we have some terms defined so that we're all on the same page when we come to the book forward from here. Throughout Scripture, we are told that we are absolutely going to know Daniel chapter 7, Luke chapter 21, Mark chapter 14, Acts chapter 1, Revelation chapter 1, we are told that we will know, I have never heard a secret trumpet. What you open your Bibles, please, with me to the 10th chapter of the gospel of John, if you're using a few addition of Holy Scripture, you're going to find that New Testament page 90 for our study in God's Word today, the 10th chapter of the gospel of John. He says, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love, he destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.
