Devotions, John 18

What is The Truth?

Have you ever wondered if what you were taught was really the truth?

Back in college I had to decide if my faith was just a cultural thing or did it have real truth to it.   I grew up going to church, so I wanted to explore if what was said about Jesus was really true.  Was it really the truth?

Many have wrestled with the same question.

Today let’s look at a person who was very powerful, smart and influential but that didn’t have the church background and knew very little about Jesus.

READ: John 18: 28-38

One of the things I like about Jesus is he gets you to think….(kinda like that one teacher that gets on your nerves a little but you really respect because you feel like you are really learning something). Jesus response was:
  • “Is that your own idea,” Jesus asked, “or did others talk to you about me?” (John 18:34 NIV).
    • Jesus asked this because our response to who Jesus is has eternal consequences. 
  • “Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to me.” 
  • If we really care about the truth to life’s biggest, life impacting, and eternal questions…then we need to find out everything Jesus said!

PRAY:    God I really want to know the truth.   If it is true that how i respond to who Jesus is has eternal consequences, please continue to reveal to me why this is so.   Help me to diligently read the Bible regularly to find out everything Jesus said.
