📖 Scripture:
John 18:37-38 (NKJV)Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and 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.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”
🎯 Illustration:
Imagine a sailor at sea with a faulty compass. No matter how skilled the sailor is, without a true north, every course he plots will take him further from home. The world today has tossed out the True Compass — the Word of God — and now drifts in a sea of opinions, half-truths, and outright lies. The result? Shipwrecked souls everywhere, confused about gender, justice, right and wrong, and eternity.
But Jesus didn’t come to blend into the fog — He came to bear witness to the Truth and light our way back to the Father. He is the Compass, the Way, the Truth, and the Life
🧭 Explanation
Now friends, lean in close — Truth ain't an opinion, and it ain't up for debate on social media. It ain't swayed by votes, it ain't moved by trends, and it certainly don’t evolve with the times. Truth is a Person. His name is Jesus.
Pilate stood there lookin’ Truth in the eye and still asked, “What is truth?” That’s the tragedy of this generation — we’re face to face with Jesus through His Word, His Spirit, and His messengers, and yet still ask the same question. But for those of us who’ve heard His Voice and followed, we know Truth isn’t just what’s right — Truth is Who reigns.
And beloved, you and I are the lighthouse keepers now. We’re called to shine with clarity in the storm of confusion. We ain’t just repeating truth — we’re revealing the True One. So let’s hoist the banner high and declare without apology: Truth is not what the world says — it’s what the Word says.
🙏🏼 Prayer
Father, I thank You for my calling to speak the truth in love, and for the commission to lead this digital community in proclaiming the Gospel without compromise. Thank You for the Spirit of Truth that guides us, for Your Word that anchors us, and for Jesus, our unshakable foundation.
Help me today to lift up Truth in the marketplace of lies, and may hearts be stirred to listen and follow. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
📣 Summary:
❝Truth ain’t an opinion — it’s a Person. His name is Jesus. Pilate looked Him in the eye and still asked, “What is truth?” Don’t make the same mistake. Open your ears — Truth is speaking.❞ 📖 John 18:37
