“WHAT IS TRUTH?”
SCRIPTURE READING:
(JOHN 18:33-38)
Jesus said, “Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.” Governor Pilate then asked Jesus, “What is truth?” For some reason Pilate left and did not wait for an answer. Perhaps he ran out of patience to listen to Jesus. Perhaps he didn’t really want the answer, or maybe he was just mocking Jesus with this question.
Do many people seek the Truth of Jesus today?...
It seems that many people want only vague, situational truth.
They do not want God’s Holy standard.
Some people are not seeking truth at all.
Others, when they do ask, don’t like the answer they hear.
There are also people who search for truth, learn it, then won’t obey.
And there are those who search for truth, learn, believe, and obey!
