God Quote-Truth

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in John 18:37.

Jesus said to Pilate when He was on trial, “The reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

Pilate responded to these words by saying, “What is truth?” And then he walked away. Pilate did not believe Jesus did anything worthy of death, but he wanted to satisfy the crowd who was shouting “Crucify Him.” So, under pressure, he gave in to the crowd instead of standing for what he believed.

There is a way to live by the courage of conviction-Be a truth-seeker rather than a crowd-pleaser. Aim to please God. This will help us to stand for what is right when we are under pressure from the crowd to do what is wrong.

John 18:37-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
