*DAILY DEW 18/FEBRUARY/2025* *TO THIS END WAS I BORN* _Key Bible Text:_ *"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."* (John 18: 37 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Pilate's question, "Art thou a king then?" (John 18:37), is a pivotal moment in the conversation between Jesus and Pilate. Jesus' response is characteristic of His humility and willingness to clarify His mission. He says, "Thou sayest that I am a king" (John 18:37), acknowledging Pilate's statement while also redefining what it means to be a king. Jesus then explains the purpose of His birth and mission: "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth" (John 18:37). This statement highlights Jesus' role as a witness to the truth, which is a central theme in the Gospel of John. Jesus is not just a king in the classical sense, but a king who reigns through truth and testimony. The phrase "Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice" (John 18:37) is a profound statement about the nature of truth and discipleship. Jesus is saying that those who are committed to the truth will recognize and respond to His voice. This is a call to discernment and obedience, emphasizing the importance of listening to and following Jesus' teachings. The lesson from this verse is that true leadership and authority are not about power or prestige, but about testifying to the truth. As followers of Jesus, we are called to bear witness to the truth and to listen to His voice. By doing so, we can experience the freedom and transformation that come from embracing the truth, and we can become instruments of truth and light in a world that desperately needs it. _MEDITATION:_ *As followers of Jesus, we are called to bear witness to the truth and to listen to His voice.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
