If You Are Looking For The Truth Look No Further

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.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. John 18: 37, 38 (ESV)

Pilate asked the question that men have been asking for centuries. What is truth? Pilate gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "you wouldn't know the truth if it was staring you in the face". John 1:14 tells us “the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Pilate was conversing with Truth and yet he washed his hands of Him. Pilate wanted to please the masses. He allowed them to determine what truth was. Society makes terrible determinations of morals and truths. What may be true today may be obsolete tomorrow. The only truth that is eternal is God's truth and once we become aware of it, we have to make the choice to accept and obey it, and then the Truth will be the determining factor in our lives. If you are looking for truth, then look no further. Jesus is the perfect example of truth. It is He who said "when you see Me, you Have seen the Father". Turn to Christ; His truth will set you free.
"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. ~ Jesus
