The truth of every word a disciple utters must be above suspicion.
"The commandment of absolute truthfulness is really only another name for the fullness of discipleship."
It is only because we follow Jesus that we can be genuinely truthful, for then He reveals to us our sin upon the cross.
Truth towards Jesus also means truth towards man. Untruthfulness destroys fellowship, but truth cuts false fellowship to pieces and establishes genuine brotherhood.
