Pastor Muri's message, main ideas.




Jesus came in the flesh for redemptive purposes.



Truth. Jesus Christ came into this world as truth, to bear witness to truth. That truth happens to be who He is. It’s personified in Him. It is the disclosure of all that God is for mankind.




The Accused is inviting the judge to become His follower.



Jesus Christ came into this world as the Logos, the Word, the disclosure, the exegesis, the narrative of all that God is.


Pilate asked the question, “So what is truth anyway?” Which is a diversionary kind of statement. It is a question that doesn’t want an answer. It’s a question that wants to change the subject, to find an out. And he found his out by turning on his heel and walking out the door.


Pilate tried six times unsuccessfully to acquit Jesus, because Pilate knew Jesus was innocent of all the charges.


But Pilate did not want to embrace the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And so Pilate said to Jesus, “So what is truth?” and walked away. Pilate did not listen. Pilate did not hear the voice of truth. Pilate did not listen to the Shepherd at the sheepfold. Pilate did not walk out and follow Him.


Have you? Are you?
