What Jesus’ Words Before Pontius Pilate Say About His Birth
John 18:37: Then Pilate said to Him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world – to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”
To bear witness to the truth. That was the purpose for which Jesus was born and came into our world.
If Jesus’ purpose was to show truth, then truth is:
(1) Being sinless
(2) Mercy over sacrifice
(3) Knowing that we all need time away to pray
(4) Teaching people so as to point them to the Father
(5) Receiving sinners for the sake of the Gospel
(6) Forgiving others
(7) Conviction
(8) The possibility that we might have to give the ultimate sacrifice
And so much more.
Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. To God be the glory for sending His Son to bear witness to the truth, so that we have a Heavenly and an earthly model to follow. Amen.
