Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” - John 18:37-38
Jesus makes no bones about His ultimate purpose - to bear witness to the truth! But what truth? “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?’” - John 11:25-26.
Christ came into the world, as fallen as it was, for one reason and one reason alone: to save sinners! “But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” - Matthew 1:20-21.
Jesus came into the world not just because mankind needed a Savior but because God loved us that much! “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” - John 3:16.
So in response to Pilate and all those who doubt and remain in their terminal disbelief, this is the truth! On this Good Friday, let us remember the selfless sacrifice our Lord and Savior made to save mankind from their sins.
