JESUS the TRUTH (Jn 14:6): “And the governor asked Him, saying, ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ So Jesus said to him, ‘It is as you say’” (Mt 27:11). A story is told in Today in the Word (Aug 5, 1993) about Henry Augustus Rowland. In 1876, he became the first occupant of the chair of physics at Johns Hopkins University. He was once called to serve as an expert witness at a trial. During cross-examination, the defense lawyer queried, “And what exactly are your qualifications as an expert witness in this case?” The normally modest and retiring professor replied quietly, “I am the greatest living expert on the subject under discussion.” Later a friend, well acquainted with Rowland’s disposition, expressed surprise at the professor’s uncharacteristic answer. Rowland answered, “Well, what did you expect me to do? I was under oath.” So it is when the Lord says, “I am meek and lowly” (Mt 11:29) or “No one comes to the Father except through Me” (Jn 14:6). HE is under oath, too!
