Absolutes

I recently started in a position as a part time fill-in driver for a laboratory which has so far provided a rather good stream of work. Besides for the fact that I love being paid to drive someone else vehichle all day it is providing me with many opportunites to encounter many different people everyday.On friday I was able to spend about eleven hours being driven around the state while a very pleasant gentleman showed me his route.
Not surprisingly we started talking about politics and world affairs. Anyone who knows me also knows that I am never short of opinions on this topic but with someone I have just recently met I know to keep things on a level of generalities until we become more familiar with each other. I knew immediately that this was a gentleman who put thought into his answers and at the age of 77 he has encountered most of the experiences life has to offer but he said something that I knew I had to address.
Now being g as we were only about 2 hours into what I knew was going to be a long day I knew I had time to get this right. The gentleman had expressed the opinion that there are "no absolutes."
Throughout the day I had learned that his son was a Christian who I have no doubt is someone I would get along with, so I knew I wasn't drifting into uncharted territories. I can only pray that I was able to help water a seed that I know has already been planted and before the day was out I did get back around to my main thought of the day.
There is one "absolute truth" and only one. Jesus Christ said "I am the way the truth and the life" this is an absolute we can cling to and use as our guide through life and praise God for that.
