“What Is Truth?” Jesus in Pilate’s Hall John 18:37-38

 1913 automobile owner’s manual “The automobile has now developed to the point where it is not anticipated there will be further developments or changes, & this manual should be a reliable guide for the motorists of the future”.

Truth Is:  Unchangeable Jesus (Jn 14:6; Heb 13:8)  Jesus’ words = God’s words (John 17:8, 17)  Jesus’ words = All truth (John 16:13)  For life & godliness (2 Pet 1:3)  Speak the Truth in love (Eph 4:15)  Waist girded with Truth (Eph 6:14)  Purified by obeying Truth (1 Pet 1:22)  Walk in the Truth (2 John 4)

Pilate’s Confusion  “Many claim to have the Truth.”  “I see no reason to believe YOU have the Truth.”

Man’s Confusion  Like Naaman (2 Kings 5) Sent to wrong source Refused to accept the right source  Lies about the nature of Truth: “Everyone has their version of the Truth.” “Truth is relative to your situation.” “Truth is what you feel in your heart.”

Rejecters of Truth  Cynic, Skeptic, Doubter: “There is no Truth.” Eyes & Ears that will not see or hear (Matt 13:14-15; Jn 20:25)  Opinionated, Prejudiced: “My mind is already made up.” Truth must be sought out (Pro 23:23; Matt 7:7; Matt 13:44-45).

Receivers of Truth  Those who are humble (Matt 5:1-12)  Those who mourn over sin  Those who are gentle kind & forgiving  Those who hunger for Truth  Those who are merciful in heart  Those who are pure in heart  Those who make peace  Those who are persecuted for Truth

Receivers of Truth  John 8:31-32 – Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, & the truth shall make you free."  John 18:37 – Jesus answered [Pilate], "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, & for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

Jesus Bears Witness to the Truth “Everyone who is of the Truth hears my voice”

Salvation From Sin: Eternal Life Faith in Jesus Christ through the Gospel John 8:24; 20:30-31; Rom 1:16; 10:9-10; Mark 16:16; Heb 11:6 Repent or turn from sins Luke 24:46-47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30-31 Confess faith in Christ Matt 10:32-33; Acts 8:36-38; Rom 10:9-10 Be immersed in water Matt 28:19; Mk 16:16; Acts 2:38; Rom 6:3-4; 1 Pet 3:21 Live in obedient faith Heb 5:8-9; 1 Peter 1:14; Rev 2:10
