“What is truth?”
Pontius Pilate asked Jesus this question shortly before he ordered Jesus to be crucified.
We don’t know what tone of voice Pilate used. Perhaps, he asked in dismay, believing truth could not be discovered.
What we do know is that people continue to ask this question—in many tones of voice. People today are as puzzled as ever about what is true and what is false.
Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me” (John 15:26 NIV). Paul said those who followed Jesus would be people who walked in truth: “(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:9-10 NKJV).
As Christians, we can know the truth, believe the truth, speak the truth, and act in a way that is in full agreement with the truth of God. If you sincerely desire to establish a life of blessing for yourself and your family, you need truth.
