So what is truth? Truth is the person of Jesus Christ. As Paul sums up in 1 Timothy 3:16, “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” The service of a deacon comes from Christ, focuses on Christ, and lifts up the name of Christ.
