Good Morning. In John 18:37 Jesus, as a human being, reminded the Jews that He is a king. Here No matter what they tried to do this truth about Jesus could not be erased. The word of God said, “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered; Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this text said, “He explains himself, and shows how he is a king, as he came to bear witness of the truth; he rules in the minds of men by the power of truth. If he had meant to declare himself a temporal prince, he would have said, For this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, to rule the nations, to conquer kings, and to take possession of kingdoms; no, he came to be a witness, a witness for the God that made the world, and against sin that ruins the world, and by this word of his testimony he sets up, and keeps up, his kingdom. It was foretold that he should be a witness to the people, and, as such, a leader and commander to the people, Isa. 55:4. Christs kingdom was not of this world, in which truth faileth (Isa. 59:15, He that cannot dissemble knows not how to reign), but of that world in which truth reigns eternally. Christs errand into the world, and his business in the world, were to bear witness to the truth. When he said, I am the truth, he said, in effect, I am a king. He conquers by the convincing evidence of truth; he rules by the commanding power of truth, and in his majesty rides prosperously, because of truth, Ps. 45:4. It is with his truth that he shall judge the people, Ps. 96:13.” I pray that we will allow the King of truth to continue to be King of our lives today.
