"What is Truth?"

In John 18, Pilate asks Jesus "What is truth?" - a question that still echoes through our culture. Their encounter reveals what happens when truth threatens our power, comfort, and control - and calls us to listen to the King standing before us.

Scripture: John 18.28-40

(Additional Reading: John 1.14, 17, 8.32, 14.6, 17.17)

Warm-Up:

What happens when the truth conflicts with what we want to protect?

“Pilate deserves our sympathies, not because he was a good though tragically mistaken man, but because we are not much better. We may believe in Jesus, but we do not believe in his ideas, at least not his ideas about violence, truth and justice.”
