Today's Message: What is Truth? | Joanne Moody

Psalm 51:6 
Behold, you desire truth in my inner -most being and in the hidden part of my heart you will make known to me wisdom.

Psalm 51:6 (The Passion Translation)
I know you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So, come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom.

John 15:26-27 (The Passion Translation)
Jesus said, “I send to you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and He will speak to you about me. And you will tell everyone the truth about me because you have walked with me from the start.”

Colossians 3:20 (The Passion Translation)
For you were included in the death of Christ and have died with him to the religious system and the powers of this world. Don’t retreat back to being bullied by the standards and opinions of religion—for example their strict requirements.

John 17:15-18
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.”

John 18: 33-40 (NASB)
Therefore Pilate entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “You are the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this [c]on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not [d]of this realm.” 37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose, I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38 Pilate *said to Him, “What is truth?”

John 15:26-27 (The Passion Translation)
And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me. 27 And you will tell everyone the truth about me, for you have walked with me from the start.”

Psalm 19:7-8 (The Passion Translation)
God’s Word is perfect in every way, how it revives our souls! His laws lead us to truth, and his ways change the simple into wise.

Psalm 19:9b (The Passion Translation)
The rarest treasures of life are found in his truth. That’s why I prize God’s word like others prize the finest gold. Nothing brings the soul such sweetness as seeking his living words. They keep us from following the wicked way giving a lifetime guarantee: great success to every obedient soul; without revelation light, how would I ever detect the waywardness of my heart?
