"What is Truth?" Pilate Said

Bible Reading: John 18
Focus Verse: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Pontius Pilate asked centuries ago, “What is truth?” as he was trying to make a judgement.  We look at our world today and try to make sense out of humanity that seems to be upside down from what we should be.  We try to find what the truth is in the news.  We want to know "What in the World is going on".  The truth is that there is a sin problem in humanity and man is full of pride.  In reality, Pilate was asking "What is truth?" when he was looking at the TRUTH himself, Jesus!

Not long before being arrested and brought to the governor, Jesus had said “I am the truth”, which was a rather incredible statement. How could a mere man be the truth? He couldn’t be, unless He was more than a man, which is actually what He claimed to be. The fact is, Jesus’ claim was validated when He rose from the dead (Romans 1:4).

Pilate and the Jewish leaders were making a judgement about the One who would be their Judge one day.  When we look for a worldly answer, we will fail to understand what God is doing, but if we look for a spiritual answer, we can see what God wants to show us.  Remember that Peter said,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16  He was looking for a spiritual truth.

When the world seems like it's gone crazy, look to the One who holds the world.
