Post your comments/ questions/ discussion starters on John chapter 18 as replies here.
Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. 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."
38"What is truth?" Pilate asked.
This interchange has always fascinated me. Pilate's cynical reply fits so well our own culture's skepticism about truth claims. But I also detect in it some longing to really know truth-- also something that lurks behind much of our skepticism.
Also, truth embodied in the person of Jesus is central here. Ultimately, if we want to know what is true, we look to Jesus. Truth is so much more than propositional statements- it is a fully orbed revelation from God to man in the person of Jesus.
