“You are a king then?” Pilate asked. “You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” “What is truth?” said Pilate. (John 18:37-38, CSB).

After Jesus was arrested He was first taken to the High Priest, Caiaphas and then He was brought to appear before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate on charges of sedition.

Pilate attempted to cross-examine Jesus and His testimony was that He came into this world to be a witness for the Truth. Pilate’s rhetorical question to Jesus in the following verse, “What is truth?” glibly dismisses the relevance of truth in the very presence of the One who is Truth incarnate.

Ironically, the one charged with determining the truth in the matter had no regard for truth himself. Incredibly, Pilate sought no answer from the only One who was the Answer.

People have not changed much over the last two thousand years. There are many who still say that there is no absolute truth or that truth is relative and can’t be known.

But, if you have found Truth in Jesus Christ, then you know that there is absolute truth. And you have probably learned the truth about Truth.

Truth once discovered becomes a journey, not a destination. The pursuit of truth lasts a lifetime–it doesn’t stop with that initial understanding or perception. It’s just that now you know where to find it.

As a follower of Jesus, you become a lover and seeker of truth. You are now involved in a lifelong quest for truth. And ,God graciously reveals His Truth as He reveals Himself to you as you seek after Him in Bible study, worship and prayer.

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John. 14:6, CSB).
