Let me start off by saying I am a member of a close to perfect church that is growing and leaping beyond our walls and I am so happy to be apart of the vision. Pastor Ralph Douglas West is the greatest Preacher,Teacher and preaches right from the word So don't close your bible follow along....
Last night we read from John 18 : 38 the question Pilate asked "What is the truth?"
As we set at the table to talk and flip through the bible to seek the answer Pilate asked."What is Truth?" Pilate was looking at truth and didn't recognize him. He was in the dark.
We went back to John 1:1 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
John 1:2 "He was in the beginning with God"
John 1: 4-5 "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
Pilate ask " What is truth?" Before he asked that question
in John 18:37 Pilate asked "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered " You say rightly that I am king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of truth hears My voice"
John 18:37 "What is truth?" Jesus is the truth let's look at John 1:6-13
God sent a man whose name was John to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.9 That was the true Light which gives Light to every man coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.11. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.12 But as many received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God.
Recap it is through Christ that we get light and understanding it is through Christ who is truth that we be born again to be children of God.
John 1:14 and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we behold His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.....
So "What is truth?" ...Jesus is Truth
Be Blessed so if you get a Pilate who has a question about our Jesus and about Truth you should know how to answer his question...
