About truth
John’s gospel records this interaction between Jesus and Pontius Pilot.
"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."
"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.” John 18:37, 38.
We live in a world today where people are twisting things. Where people calling lies truth and truth lies.
Jesus here is brought before Pilot on charges that He was calling himself a king. Jesus didn’t deny this. He however was not the kind of king his accusers were saying He was. His accusers were saying he was against the Roman government.
Pilot it seemed saw through this but for fear of insurrection he let the lie continue sentencing Jesus to death for a crime he did not commit.
Today we need to be careful not to believe the lies we hear in the media and even from the pulpit.
We remember that just because every one is parroting the lie doesn’t make it truth.
We need to remember to take time to pray believing that God will show us what is truth. Then stand up for the truth.
We must remember that the truth will aline with the Bible.
So my question to you is are you standing up for truth or are you believing the lie?
Please think about it.
