Pilate’s Story (John 18: 28 – 40)

The conversation between Jesus and Pilate is interesting. Pilate gets involved because the Sanhedrin (Religious leaders) did not have the authority to sentence someone to death. Pilate was perplexed by the fact that a death sentence was demanded by the Jewish Leaders because he found nothing wrong with Jesus, certainly nothing that warranted capital punishment. 

In their conversation, Jesus tells Pilate that he came into the world to testify to the truth. “Whoever accepts the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate responds with the question “What is truth?” But then he doesn’t really care enough to contemplate an answer. 

We are confronted with that very question many times every day—what is the Truth? How do we decide what truth we will support? Let’s think about that together on Sunday. How is the truth of Jesus different from the truth of the world?    Abe B.
