Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when
he had said this, he went out again unto the
Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault
at all.(John 18:38)
Precious Saints of God,
Pilate told Jesus that he (Pilate) had the power
to release Him (Jesus). He also asked Jesus
what truth meant. Jesus realized that Pilate was
fulfilling scriptures and didn't respond to him.
But, I believe that had Jesus wanted to reply
Pilate, He would have said these words and
much more:
Dear Pilate, no, you do not have the power to
release me. I did not only create you and your
parents, I created creation! Without me was
anything made that was made, including you
Dear Pilate (John 1:3). Talking about power,
dear Pilate are you aware that all power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18)
and that you
are only fulfilling scriptures?
Dear Pilate, yes, I know what the truth is. I am
the truth! Anyone that knows me knows the
truth; anybody that has me has the truth. More
than that, Infact, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by
me (John 14:6). I am also the resurrection and
the life (John 11:25) which is why I am
permitting
you to have your ways.
Dear Pilate I am only laying down my life for a
reason, and I have the power to pick it up again
(John 10:17). For the joy that is set before me I
will endured your ridicule, I will despise the
shame (Hebrew 12:2). Because I see my seed
that will prolong my days (Isaiah 53:10), I will
rather not respond to you Dear Pilate…
Brethren, there is a big lesson for us here: even
when we know we are right and are being
unjustly treated, because of who we are in
Christ, we should just endure the ridicules and
despise whatever shame we may face!
