DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. JOHN 18:37

(37)  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.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

Grace be unto you!  A tree can be fully identified, by the type of fruit it bears;  a mango tree cannot produce grapes, neither can an orange tree, bear apples;  therefore, Jesus, said to the multitudes in his sermon on the mount, by their fruits, ye shall know them. cf. Matthew 7:20;  if a believer can be identifiable by the type of fruits he/she produces, then let us cultivate, fertilize and water down the soil of our hearts with the word of God, to bring forth the gifts and talents embedded within our innermost spirits to serve others;  as the believers of Jesus Christ, each and every one of us, has something unique from the inside of us, to utilize, for the world's benefit;  for instance, some are called as preachers, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, choristers, ushers, etc.;  therefore, let us serve one another as we serve Jesus Christ, that our fruits may be able to show what type of trees we really are in him. 

In a nutshell;  during the trials of Jesus Christ, Pontius Pilate said unto him,  Art thou a king then?  Jesus replied;  Thou sayest that I am a king:  you see!  Pilate discerned that Jesus is the King of all kings; but, Jesus never claimed to be a king;  this is what Pilate perceived, the crown of glory was upon him, the kingship fruits bared, witnessed to who Jesus is;  therefore, no matter where a believer resides or what they encounter in life, the fact is, they can never be separated from their Christlike attributes, if they are kind, they will show kindness;  it is the fruits that bear the witness of who they really are in the spirits:  Jesus answered to Pilate;  To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.  Bump!  in inference, Jesus hit the nail on Pontius Pilate's head, gave him the solution to his puzzled mind:  the bottom line of his assignment was, to bear the witness unto the truth;  the ponder question is, what is the truth? 

Beloved, in a different lecture, Jesus said to his disciples;  "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" cf. John 10:27;  likewise, he concluded his statement to Pilate;  Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice;  therefore, those who belong to him, hear his words;  if we are his, then, let us listen to obey him, adhere to his words, and bear fruits of righteousness.  Let us Love one another as ourselves!  Jesus is coming back again soon!  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Proverbs 3:3-4  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:  bind them about thy neck;  write them upon the table of thine heart:  So shall thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
