WHAT IS TRUTH?

These are the infamous words of Pilate as he ironically stood in judgement over the Lord Jesus Christ. This earthly governor who was nothing more than a career politician who had little interest in the real truth was an unwitting part of God's eternal plan. The truth for Pilate was that he desired to be rid of this man who stood before him for no more reason than the jealous and envious motives of the hypocritical Jewish religious leadership.

When Pilate asked the Lord Jesus if He was a king, Christ responded with the astounding words: "thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth." (John 18:37. Jesus came into this world as a man born in lowly Bethlehem to the end that He might accomplish God's eternal plan of becoming the payment for man's sin. But, expanding on His words He declares, "for this cause came I into the world." These words make it clear that He existed before His conception in the womb of Mary. Indeed He is the eternal Son of God who came for this cause.

The truth is that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no man cometh unto the Father but by Him. (John 14:6) Religious leaders still want Him removed. Politicians still do not want to deal with Him in truth. But, the eternal, unchanging truth is, Jesus is the answer to man's greatest need. His need for the forgiveness of His Creator. Jesus died for the sin's of man, will you receive the TRUTH? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!
