I remember many years ago one of the professors of the University, with whom I was very close and at whose house I was one evening, after a long conversation, turned and said to me, “Look here, doctor, I am earnestly seeking after the truth.” “I have got it, sir,” I replied. “What do you mean?” He asked. “I mean this: I have Christ, and He is the truth.”
Christ is the truth, and I want to draw your attention to these precious words of the Savior — uttered by Him when surrounded by everything that the enmity of man could bring against Him, when betrayed, denied, blindfolded, and passed on from one careless high priest to another, and then trundled away to the judgment-seat of Pilate, a godless man.
He said, “What is truth?” and then turns his back on Truth personified. Ah! my friends, there is many a man doing that today. Pilate is not the only man who has turned his back on the Truth.
