John 18:37
Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
I pray,
that at all times,
no matter your circumstance,
whether things are going well for you or not,
at all times.
You might know that Christ came into the world
to give witness of what is true.
Witness of what is true.
That God is full of mercy,
and in his mercy,
he takes back sinners who repent
and turn back to him.
He takes them back and helps them.
He is the only one who anoints, there is no other.
He is the only one who saves, there is no other.
He is our provider, our healer, our banner, our covering, there is only one.
God said “I am your only Savior”
Blessed be our Lord,
and may we all bask in that truth,
may we all know in our hearts,
that the Lord Himself came into the world
to give witness of what is true.
Blessed be our Lord.

word that was from the beginning the
word which was God through which all
things were made for whom all things
were made the word which became flesh
and dwelt among us as with a grace as of
an only begotten Son as of the only
begotten Son
came into the world to reveal God in
terms that we could understand I came
into the world that I might give witness
to what is true to what is true the Word
of God says all have gone astray and
fall short of the glory of God
the things that God had said must come

be handed over into wicked hands so that
he could take all the condemnation of
the world for all the sins past present
and future and put them away so we might
have a way to be in communion with God

darkness and where there is darkness
well there is little light if he came to
witness as to what God is whom God is

John 18 verse 1 John 18 verse 1 when
Jesus has said these words he went out
with his disciples over the stream
cadrin to a garden into which he went
with his disciples and Judas who was
false to him had knowledge of the place
because Jesus went there frequently with
his disciples so Judas getting a band of
armed men and police from the chief
priests and Pharisees went there with
lights and with arms then Jesus having
knowledge of everything which was coming
on him knowing what would happen went
forward and said to them who are you
looking for their answer was Jesus the
Nazarene jesus said I am he and Judas
who was false to him was there at their
side and when he said to them I am he
they went back falling to the earth so
again he put the question to them who
are you looking for and they said Jesus
the Nazarene Jesus made answer I have
said that I am he if you are looking for
me let these men go away he said this so
that his words might come true
I have kept safe all those whom you gave
me then Simon Peter who had a sword took
it out and gave the high priest his
servant a blow cutting off his right ear
the servants his name was Marcus then
jesus said to Peter put back your sword
am I not
the cup which my father has given to me
am I not to take the cup which my father
has given to me then the band and the
chief captain and the police took Jesus
and put cords round him they took him
first to Ennis because anis was the
father-in-law of Caiaphas who was the
high priest that year it was Caiaphas
who had said that the Jew to the Jews
that it was in their interest for one
man to be put to death for the people
and Simon Peter went after Jesus with
another disciple now that disciple was a
friend of the high priest and he went in
with Jesus into the house of the high
priest but Peter was kept outside at the
door then this other disciple who was a
friend of the high priest came out and
had a word with the girl who kept the
door and took Peter in then the girl who
was that who was the doorkeeper said to
Peter Peter are you not one of this
man’s disciples in answer he said I am
NOT now the servants and the police had
made a fire of coals because it was cold
they were warming themselves in front of
it and Peter was there with them warming
himself then the high priest put
questions to Jesus about his disciples
and his teaching Jesus made answer I
said things openly to the world at all
times I said things openly to the world
at all times
I have given my teaching in the
synagogues and in the temple to which
all the Jews come and I have said
nothing secretly
why
I are you questioning me put questions
to my ears about what I have said to
them they have knowledge of what I said
when he said this one of the police by
his said by his side gave him a blow
with his open hand saying do you give
such an answer to the high priest jesus
said an answer if I have said anything
evil give witness to the evil but if I
said what is true why do you give me
blows then Ana’s sent him chained to
Caiaphas the high priest but Simon Peter
was still there warming himself by the
fire he said to him are you not one of
his disciples he said no I am NOT one of
the servants of the high priest a
relation of him whose ear had been cut
off by Peter a relation of Malthus said
did I not see you with him in the garden
then again Peter said no and straight
away a cock gave its cry so they took
Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the
praetorium it was early they themselves
did not go into the praetorium so that
they might not become unclean but might
take the Passover so Pilate came out to
them and put the question what have you
to say against this man he said to him
an answer if the man was not a wrongdoer
we would not have given him up to you
then Pilate said to them take him
yourselves and let him be judged by your
law but the Jews said to him we have no
right to put any man to death that the
word of Jesus might come true pointing
to the sort of death you would have
then Pilate went back into the
praetorium and sent for Jesus and said
to him are you the King of the Jews
Jesus made answer do you say this of
yourself or did others say it about me
Pilate said am i a Jew your nation and
the chief priests have given you into my
hands what have you done jesus said in
answer my kingdom is not of this world
if my kingdom was of this world my
disciples would have made a good fight
to keep me out of the hands of the Jews
but my kingdom is not here then Pilate
said to him are you then a king
Jesus made answer you say that I am a
king for this purpose for this purpose
was I given birth and for this purpose I
came into the world that I might give
witness to what is true every lover of
what is true gives ear to my voice
Pilate said to him true what is true
having said this he went out again to
the Jews and said to them I see no wrong
in him but every year you make a request
to me to let a prisoner go free at the
Passover is it your desire that I let
the King of the Jews go free then again
they gave a loud cry not this man but
Barabbas
now Barabbas was an outlaw an outlaw was
preferred than the King of Kings then
our Lord blessed be our Lord in Jesus
mighty name much more can be said but
the words of John 18 are enough more
than he
I pray that you might know that our Lord
or King or Savior the first and the last
God with us came into the world to give
witness of what is truth what is true
Jesus Christ crucified salvation for all
mankind he came to make a way for us to
have salvation and he is our only Savior
blessed be our Lord who inherits all
things the light of the world the bread
of life the most holy the Word of God
God with us Jesus amen in the beginning
was the word and the Word was with God
and the Word was God
and that word is in the beginning was
the word and a word the power of God in
the beginning was the word and that word
is his name is Jesus Lord of glory Jesus
king over Kings his aim is Jesus light
of the world Jesus the bread of life his
name is Jesus word of God Jesus God with
us
