The question posed by Pilate to Jesus "What is truth?" has always been a question that stopped me dead in my tracks when reading about Jesus' trial and crucifixion. It's a big question. It's definitely a question a seeker of truth would ask. If Pilate could have known Who he was asking this question to, the answer would have opened his eyes. Still, we can know Jesus as the embodiment of truth and that His very words are truth. From there, we can know the truth because we choose to follow Jesus and live in the freedom He brings. May that message stir your heart once again, not only at Easter but throughout the whole year.
