What is Truth?

John 18:38"What is truth?" Pilate asked.

What a great question Pilate! The sad part about the story is that Pilate didn’t care what the truth was. He was more concerned with his own position, status or whatever or whoever had influence over him. I think he must have heard this ‘idea of truth’ and in a cowering way….kind of a reluctant half question half statement…what is truth?

Pilate was, as we like to say today, affected by cultural relativism. His perception, the Jews perception, the disciples perception were all different. And when the world asks the same question today, it is swayed by all the many influences that make up our culture.

Our foundational truths as believers, are what give us moral absolutes. The main question is…..IS GOD WHO HE SAYS HE IS? In verse 37 Jesus said…..”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."

Jesus was sent to answer the question…What is Truth? "I am the way and the truth and the life.

People, we aren't doing a very good job handling the Truth....
