Two words that were very important to the apostle John when writing this gospel were truth and true. He used true 20 times when Matthew, Mark and Luke only used it one time, and John used truth 27 times when Matthew and Luke only used it three and Luke five. The word truth comes to a climax when Pilate asks in 18:38, "What is truth?" The Jewish leaders brought Jesus to Pilate because they wanted Him to be crucified, because in Deut. 21:22-23 it says that anyone hung on a tree is cursed. Plus they had tried to stone Jesus two other times in John 8:59 and John 10:31-38 to no avail. When Jesus was before Pilate He admitted that He was a king from a kingdom of another place. Then in verse 37b Jesus admitted, "In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." The truth is that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; therefore, we need a Savior and King, which is Christ the Lord. He was born so we could become a part of the kingdom of God who loves us and sent His Son to die on the cross for us. The question is, "Is Jesus your king?"
