Ladies and Gentlemen, we read in Gospel of John chapter 18 about the great exchange between Christ Jesus our Lord and the Roman ruler Pontius Pilate. Jesus answers Pilate’s accusation with a most profound question. Pilate responds with his “justification” of his position. Jesus explains the purpose of His existence in simple truthful terms. Pilate again asks a loaded question that he already has the answer. Jesus then quietly, with no shouting and no anger says:

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?" and when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews {leaders & politicians}, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all”.      John 18:28-38

Today in America, there are thousands of self-ordained authorities that are sarcastically asking the same question that Pilate says to our Lord - “What is truth?” Please understand dear ones that it is critically important that we HEAR what the Voice of the Lord our God is saying to His People today. We must confirm those Words of Truth with the written Word of our Lord and Savior. The Holy Spirit is our Guide and our Comforter and the Bible is our road map to show each of us the right path!

Heavenly Father, we believe that Christ Jesus our Lord is The Way, The Truth, and The Life for all of mankind. By His death burial and Resurrection, we have been born again to the newness of life here on earth. We pray today that Your Holy Spirit will lead us into the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth about the situation and circumstances of our lives today. Amen and Amen!

This is my Bible—there are many like it, but this one is mine. The Bible is God's Word to mankind and especially to me. 1

God's Word is Truth; it lights my way—teaching and guiding me. 2

God's Word is alive and active; it judges my thoughts and attitudes. 3

God's Word builds me up and gives me an inheritance among his people. 4

God's Word produces faith in my heart. By receiving it, understanding it, and putting it into practice, I become productive in His Kingdom. 5

I receive God's Word by reading it, hearing it, studying it, memorizing it, and meditating on it. I must handle it carefully in order to interpret it correctly. 6

By putting God's Word into practice I create a solid foundation for my life. 7

Without my cooperation, God's Word in my life is useless. 8

Without God's Word I am useless. 9

I must speak God's Word boldly and purposefully. 10

God's Word lives in me richly; in my mouth it becomes the Sword of the Holy Spirit. 11

With it I overcome the enemy who is trying to destroy me. 12

Lord, we pray Sanctify me by Your Truth. Your Word is TRUTH.

Amen & Amen!
