One truth, which encompasses many

 

There are some truths in life that are so powerful that they, themselves, encompass all other truths under them. They don’t need a whole lot of explanation. They’re simple. In essence, they are the answer to every question you could ask on that subject.

One of these truths that came to my mind, as an example, involves the career paths we choose. We often wondered to ourselves before we chose our career path, “What should I be when I grow up?” We also asked things like, “How am I going to make a living?” Or, “Where should I go to school?” And even, “How will I become successful in life?” All good questions. We all need to choose something. It’s not always so clear cut. Especially since there are so many options. So, what are the answers to each of those questions?

What if I told you that the answer to those questions point to one main question? And what if I told you that the answer to that main question will answer all the other questions that point to the main question? I’ve often heard it said (and I agree that it’s solid advice), “Find something that you’re good at, and that your passionate about, and everything else will take care of itself.” I think it’s largely true. That one answer becomes the answer to every question you have on the subject of your career. From what you should be, to how you’re going to earn an income, to how to become successful—the answer is all the same. The rest is just details. The great thing about this is that it really simplifies things for us. Because once you answer that one main question, you can answer all the others.

But sometimes we don’t even know what the main question is. So, we don’t even know where to begin. In that case, we need to ask ourselves, “What’s the main question?” What are all the questions I’m asking pointing to? If I could boil down all my questions into one main question, what would it be? In this case the main question would be, “What am I good at and also passionate about?” Once we know the right question, it makes it easier to come up with the right answer. Then once we know the answer to that main question we can answer all the other questions with that same answer. And we can figure out the details from there.

I don’t know about you, but I like when things are simplified for me. Making the complex understandable is a valuable thing. Usually we can do this if we just think about it a little bit. Sometimes it can help to ask for advice as well, or bounce some ideas off someone else. But of all these question we can ask, they can usually be boiled down to one main answer. One main truth.

 

…Let’s go deeper

AV Matthew 22:36-40 says, “Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” This man came up to Jesus and asked Him, “What is the great commandment?” See, he wanted something simple. He wanted it all boiled down to something that would answer all his questions. Jesus gave him an answer: Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. And also love thy neighbor as thyself. That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? This answer can answer a lot of questions I have. How do I know what I should spend my time doing? Should I give money to my church and those in need? How should I treat my neighbor? Because in that one main answer Jesus gave answers all these other questions as well. And when I’m loving God, and my neighbor as myself, then I’m fulfilling the answers to those questions.
AV John 14:6 says, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Here’s another answer Jesus gave when Thomas asked Him, “How can we know the way?” Jesus gave them one answer. He’s the one answer to all those things. What is the way? Jesus. What is the truth? Jesus. What is the life? Jesus. Same answer for all of those questions.

You may have a lot of questions in life. Whether it’s the meaning of life, or the way to God. We can know that Jesus is the answer. You may be wondering though, “How can I know the answer to what applies specific to my life? Well in AV James 1:5 it says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” He is not only the answer, but is willing to give us the answers. But, ultimately, He is the source for all of our answers.

AV Matthew 22:36-40 says, “Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

AV John 14:6 says, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

AV James 1:5 it says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
