“Pilate saith unto Him (Jesus), What is truth?” (John 18:38).
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
Jesus did not actually answer Pilate in this way; He gave this answer earlier to His disciple Thomas, but it tells us the answer to Pilate’s question.
Today we hear so many things in the news media that it is sometimes hard to know what is true and what is “fake news.” Also, some people today try to tell us that there is no actual truth; it just depends on the circumstances. A few years ago a minister of a so-called church in England told people that if you needed food and could not afford it, it was all right to steal from big supermarkets, but not from small stores.
But God’s Word gives us absolute truth — things that never change. Once a university student was arguing about this with a gospel preacher. When the preacher stood up to leave the student’s room, he casually picked up his stereo set and began to walk away with it. When the student became upset, the preacher replied, “Who are you to tell me that it is wrong to steal?” As a result the student’s eyes were opened, and he realized that when his own possessions were involved, he did believe in absolute truth. He eventually accepted the Lord Jesus as His Savior.
