The Christian and Truth

Good Shepherd Community Church

Do you know what truth is-- Pilate asked this question of Jesus right after Jesus made a claim as to why he came into world. John 18-29-38-29 So Pilate went outside to them and said, -What accusation do you bring against this man--- 30 They answered him, -If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.- 31 Pilate said to them, -Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.- The Jews said to him, -It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.- 32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.--33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, -Are you the King of the Jews--- 34 Jesus answered, -Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me--- 35 Pilate answered, -Am I a Jew-- Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done--- 36 Jesus answered, -My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.- 37 Then Pilate said to him, -So you are a king--- Jesus answered, -You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world-to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.- 38 Pilate said to him, -What is truth-----Truth was staring Pilate in the face and he missed it. Jesus is the only way to know the true God and to have eternal life-
