THE TRUTH

The Truth

The Jews’ accusation against Jesus

Was that He claimed to be a King.

They wanted Jesus crucified,

manipulating Pilate to do this thing.

If Jesus admitted a claim to kingship,

A usurper to Caesar He’d be,

And Pilate’s hands would be tied.

He could not easily set Him free.

Jesus verified His kingship

Otherworldly and supreme,

But He had come into this world

To bring Truth’s eternal beam.

Jesus is the only Way

To forever peace with God.

He is The Truth, The Light, The Life

Who walked on this earth’s sod.

He did not defend Himself

As before Pilate He stood

For He knew crucifixion was God’s plan

To bring about ultimate good.

Pilate thought he had power,

But in reality he had none

Except what the Father had given

As verified by Jesus, the Son.

Jesus spoke always only

The truth which He had heard

In the voice of the Heavenly Father

Now recorded in God’s word.
