Scripture:
John 18: 37 "Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” (NASB)
Observation:
So Pilate ask our King if his is the real King. Pilate was put into predicament by the Jews of sentencing Jesus to the cross. Jesus answer yes to Pilate's question, that he is the king and his real reasons for being on this earth was to testify to the truth. Our God sacrifice his son to show us the light by bringing his son to the this world to forgive and wash the sins of so many, to share with so many what the eternal everlasting truth is. For those who want or seek to hear him will listen and hear his truth and see the truth. No matter what circumstances Jesus was faced with he never denied his existences and the truth. When we listen and obey his truth, God's mercy will be shown and he will bring so much Glory and joy upon us. But when we continue to deny him like the Jew, God will be hurt and the truth of him will be hidden, will be blocked from entering in you. God will despise the wicked, but he came to save the wicked and sinned, yet Jews wanted to condemn him to death, how ironic is that, Jews can't deliver, accept the truth, loosing authority and power amongst people that they will go so far of denying our God and his truth, when they preach of the truth.
Application:
There is saying "Truth but nothing but the truth so help me God." There is truth and truth comes from our God. To hear the truth open our hearts and listen to our God speaking to us. I had an incident where a friend came by and wanted to learn more about the Bible, and we had very candid discussion, he had open mind and respected what I had to offer. He wanted answer to contridicting portions in the Bible, he was confused yet he had some desire to hear the truth, but those around him who pretend to know is disguised by the truth, they do not want to hear the truth, or over cloud the truth. It is very difficult to get across that God word is the way of life, so if anyone want to hear the truth obey God's word. Not just go off and do whatever we wish and take control of. I myself, need to take leap of faith, and trust and pursue God's word and seek the truth but nothing but the truth so help me God indeed.
Prayer:
Heaven Father, mold me to be a reflection of your truth and that I may speak the truth of you and share your truth with others. My examples may help others to see through me and understand much of your love and find peace in word of truth. Father help me to live and strive to live in your example and in your word, walk with me through my struggles and educate me to be better person then I was yesterday.
