Nearly 2,000 years ago, a Roman governor
by the name of Pontius Pilate asked the
rhetorical
question “What is truth” when
confronted with a difficult decision.
This was a very important question as
Pilate was about to decide the fate of a
very unique man by the name of Jesus.
In the end, Pilate ignored the truth
about Jesus. Instead, he decided to
have Jesus executed as a common
criminal, even though Pilate admitted
that Jesus was innocent of any crimes.
Jesus often taught about truth and on
one occasion said “You shall know the
truth and the truth shall set you
free.” Today and over the centuries,
millions of people, known as
“Christians”, testify how the truth
about Jesus and the truth taught by Him
have set them free. Instead of being
behind bars of steel, they were
imprisoned by bars of sin and
selfishness. Such ‘bars’ had negatively
affected their relationships with other
people and more importantly, their
relationship with the God who created
them. However, many lives and families
have been changed by these God-given
truths that can set us free. These
truths are ancient, but unchangeable and
eternal in value.
Where is this truth to be found? What
are the basic truths you should know?
How will such truth affect you
personally? Over the next few weeks
through a series of ten lessons, we will
study the Bible and discover God’s
eternal truths that can change your life
forever.
