Truth, period. There is no other truth, spiritually speaking, but Judeo/Christian truth-- as embodied in the life and person of Jesus Christ. All truth comes from God.
What other truth is there? Any other religious philosophy is based on THE LIE. You know the one:
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isaiah 14:13,14
And then Satan convinced Adam and Eve they could be "like the most High" also:
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as GODS, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4-5
Who could resist that? Well, none of us ever did, did we? That is, until we knew the Truth, and that Truth has set us free.
You're being awful literative there. Jesus is described as, "the Lamb of God", but you don't expect him to have a woolly butt. Also isn't your use of the word "person" a little limiting? If I had to describe an intergalactic figure of awe and mystery, I would probably say either deity or being.
I still say "person" is a poor word choice. According to canon the Christian God is tripartite. So skin and bones aren't all that's there. Christians believe Jesus is also at the same time the Holy Ghost and The Father. I suggest again the word "being" to be more appropriate.
Please return and address my main point though. You don't literally see Jesus as the Lamb of God. Why are you insisting that The Father is the literal sole Truth?
I do believe that Jesus is the Lamb of God... not a literal "lamb" but a literal "sacrifice" ...Passover sacrifice, i.e., Pascal Lamb... in type. While not a physical lamb, he embodied/s the physical purpose of the passover lamb.
But Jesus is many other things besides 'the Lamb of God'. He is the 'Way' [to eternal life], He is the 'Truth' [of God in eternal life], and He is the very 'Life,' in exemplar, that all who believe on him will themselves one day embody in eternal life.
Jesus is also a judge. He will judge not only the righteous for their works in Grace, but He will also judge the unrighteous for their works under the Law-- Grace is only for the saved.
Jesus is a High Priest. He is a Prophet. He is an Advocate. He is a King. He is also God.
Jesus as God, God and Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as the empowering force of the eternal God-head are ALL the Sole Truth of the universe. Want a unified string theory? Seek and ask God; he created everything there is, he knows if anyone knows. Every truth found in science and the arts is the result of God Himself... Jesus... Their handiwork.

He prayed, "Sanctify them through thy Truth; thy Word is Truth..."
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God....
Yes. The Mystery in 7 words.
