Verse of the Day

38 “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. ~John 18:38
John 18:38 records Pilate’s famous question, “What is truth?” after Jesus says He came to testify to the truth. This moment reflects the tension between worldly skepticism and divine revelation.
Reflection:
Pilate’s question shows how the world often struggles to recognize ultimate truth, even when it is standing right before them. Jesus embodies truth, but fear, politics, and self-interest can blind hearts to Him. We are challenged to examine our own lives: Do we truly seek God’s truth, or do we settle for the shifting opinions of the world?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Open my heart to recognize Your voice above the noise of the world. Give me courage to live by Your truth, even when it is inconvenient or costly. Help me not to turn away like Pilate, but to stand firm in faith. Amen.
