THE GOD OF WONDER 10-19-25

THE GOD OF WONDER 10-19-25  VIDEO JESUS APPEARS TO ME & LAUGHS

He is the God of a wonder and might. There is none like Him. He is the God of wonder. The signs and miracles He has done that are recorded in the Word are far above anything we could think about hope or imagine. The crowds recognize Jesus as a wonder sent by Yahweh. God’s wonders reveal Jesus as intent. The greatest wonder that Yahweh has ever done is that He sent his Son to be born in the world to redeem us from all sin. Jesus is the Spirit of wonder sent to mankind by the Father.

PS 75:1 We thank you, God, we thank you – your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about.

2 You say, “I’m calling this meeting to order, I’m ready to set things right.

3 When the earth goes topsy-turvy And nobody knows which end is up, I nail it all down, I put everything in place again.   MSG

Acts 2:43 And a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).

Acts 14:3 So [Paul and Barnabas] stayed on there for a long time, speaking freely and fearlessly and boldly in the Lord, Who continued to bear testimony to the Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.

Rom 15:19 [Even as my preaching has been accompanied] with the power of signs and wonders, [and all of it] by the power of the Holy Spirit. [The result is] that starting from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel [faithfully executing, accomplishing, carrying out to the full the good news] of Christ (the Messiah) in its entirety.

ACTS 2:11 both Jews and proselytes; Even Cretans and Arabs! “They’re speaking our languages, describing God’s mighty works!”

12 Their heads were spinning; they couldn’t make head or tail of any of it. They talked back and forth, confused: “What’s going on here?”

13 Others joked, “They’re drunk on cheap wine.”

14 That’s when Peter stood up and, backed by the other eleven, spoke out with bold urgency: “Fellow Jews, all of you who are visiting Jerusalem, listen carefully and get this story straight.

15 These people aren’t drunk as some of you suspect. They haven’t had time to get drunk – it’s only nine o’clock in the morning.

16 This is what the prophet Joel announced would happen:

17 “In the Last Days,” God says, “I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams.  MSG

EXODUS 7:5 The Egyptians will realize that I am God when I step in and take the Israelites out of their country.”

6 Moses and Aaron did exactly what God commanded.

7 Moses was eighty and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

8 Then God spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,

9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you and says, ‘Prove yourselves. Perform a miracle,’ then tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh: It will turn into a snake.'”

10 Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what God commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his servants, and it turned into a snake. MSG

PS 66:5 Take a good look at God’s wonders – they’ll take your breath away.

6 He converted sea to dry land; travelers crossed the river on foot. Now isn’t that cause for a song?   MSG

PS 77:11 Yet I could never forget all your miracles, my God, as I remember all your wonders of old.

12 I ponder all you’ve done, Lord, musing on all your miracles. TPT

PS  96:3 Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all!  MSG

PS 105:2 Sing him songs, belt out hymns, translate his wonders into music!  MSG

PS 40:5 The world’s a huge stockpile of God-wonders and God-thoughts. Nothing and no one comes close to you! I start talking about you, telling what I know, and quickly run out of words. Neither numbers nor words account for you.  MSG

DAN 4:2 It is my privilege to report to you the gracious miracles that the High God has done for me.

3 “His miracles are staggering, his wonders are surprising. His kingdom lasts and lasts, his sovereign rule goes on forever.  MSG

PS 77:14 You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the people. AMP

DAN 6:27 “He rescues and saves and performs signs and wonders In heaven and on earth— He who has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.” AMP

1 JN 4:9 The love of God is unveiled within us in the Son; he was begotten of the Father in the flesh and sent into the world that we might live because of him. Our lives are mirrored and defined in him. Both his birth in the flesh as well as his commission into the world were entirely God’s doing.  MIRROR

JN 1:14 Suddenly the invisible, eternal Word takes on visible form – the Incarnation, on display in a flesh and blood Person, as in a mirror! In him, and now confirmed in us! The most accurate tangible exhibit of God’s eternal thought finds expression in human life! The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze! The glory we see there is not a religious replica; he is the authentic begotten Son.  MIRROR

MATT 21:8 Then an exceptionally large crowd gathered and carpeted the road before him with their cloaks and prayer shawls. Others cut down branches from trees to spread in his path.

9 Jesus rode in the center of the procession—crowds going before him and crowds coming behind him, and they all shouted, “Bring the victory, Lord, Son of David! He is the blessed one sent from the Lord Yahweh! We celebrate with praises to God in the highest!”

10 As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the people went wild with excitement—the entire city was thrown into an uproar!  TPT

HEB 1:2  In a son, God declares the Incarnate Word to be the heir of all things. He is, after all, the author of the ages.    

3 The Messiah-message is what has been on the tip of the Father’s tongue all along! Now he is the crescendo of God’s conversation with us and gives context and content to the authentic, prophetic thought. Everything that God had in mind for mankind is voiced in him. Jesus is God’s language. He is the radiant and flawless mirror expression of the person of God. He makes the glorious intent of God visible and exhibits the character and every attribute of Elohim in human form. His being, announces our redeemed innocence; having accomplished purification for sins, he sat down, enthroned in the boundless measure of his majesty in the right and of God as his executive authority. He is the force of the universe, upholding everything that exists. This conversation is the dynamic that sustains the entire cosmos.  MIRROR

ISA 9:6 ‘A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: the Wonderful One, the Extraordinary Strategist, the Mighty God, the Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace!’  TPT

PHIL 3:9 and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.

10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];

11 so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.  AMP

↓↓↓

PHIL 3:9  So here I am; found in Christ! I was looking in the wrong place all along! My own duty-and-guilt-driven religious endeavor snared me in the cul-de-sac maize of self-righteousness, sponsored by the law of works! The faith of Christ reveals my identity; righteousness defines who God believes that I really am. This righteousness is sourced in God and endorses the authority of faith.  

10 Oh to comprehend the dynamic of his resurrection! His resurrection is evidence of our righteousness! In the revelation of God’s economy of inclusion, I actually co-suffered with him and co-died together with Christ!  

11 When confronted with death, I actually come face to face with my own resurrection!

12 There may be blurry edges to my comprehending the full scope of resurrection life beyond the grave; but I pursue the complete conclusion of co-comprehending and fully grasping exactly that which Jesus Christ knew all along about me when he died my death; and to see me in his faith where I am so perfectly included when he rescued and raised me out of the grasp of death!   MIRROR

AMAZING GRACE

AMAZING GRACE 10-17-25 VIDEO WHERE WE ARE FRANCOIS DUTOIT
What exactly is Grace? In the New Testament there are 124 uses of the word Grace, and 86 of them come from the apostle Paul. Paul has been called the apostle of grace. He calls grace undeserved favor. You can’t work to earn grace it’s free and undeserved. None of us would be saved if it weren’t for grace. Grace works in us and brings power to us in hard times. Grace gives confidence to draw near to God. Grace is power to preach the Gospel.
ROM 3:24 While the law proved mankind’s dilemma, the grace of God announces the same mankind’s redemption in Jesus Christ! Their blameless innocence is a free gift! The gift-principle puts the idea of reward out of business! There is no exception – this belongs to every single person, Jew and Gentile alike! Mankind’s righteousness is now redeemed. Jesus Christ is proof of God’s grace gift; he redeemed the glory of God in human life; mankind condemned in the language of religion, is now mankind justified in the language of the gospel! MIRROR

ROM 5:15 The only similarity in the comparison between the crash-landing and the gift, is that both Adam and Christ represent the masses. However, the grace gift lavished upon mankind in the one man Jesus Christ supersedes the effect of Adam’s failure by far and is beyond comparison in significance to the idea of death and separation.
16 The principle of the gift speaks a different language and brings a radically different equation to the table. Whereas a single sin resulted in a judgment that concluded in condemnation; grace translates countless deviations into acquittal and innocence.
17 Death no longer has the final say. Life rules! If the effect of one man’s crash-landing engaged mankind in a death-dominated lifestyle how much more advantaged is the very same mankind now that they are the recipients of the boundless reservoirs of grace, empowering them to enjoy the dominion of life through the gift of righteousness because of that one man, Jesus Christ. Grace is out of all proportion in superiority to the transgression. MIRROR

ROM 5:20 All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down.
21 All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that’s the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life – a life that goes on and on and on, world without end. MSG
↓↓↓
ROM 5:20 The presence of the law made no difference, instead it merely highlighted the offence; but where sin increased, grace superseded it.
21 Death provided sin its platform and power to reign from; now grace has taken over sovereignty through righteousness to introduce unthreatened life under the Lordship of Jesus Christ over us. A simple equation: We were not made sinners by our own disobedience; neither were we made righteous by our own obedience.
The same humanity represented in the one man Adam, is triumphantly represented in the one man Jesus Christ! MIRROR

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. TASTE-consume

ROM 11:5 Thus even in today’s context, God’s original word of grace has preserved a remnant of much larger proportion than what we can number
6 Grace cannot suggest debt or obligation at the same time. The word grace can only mean what it says. The same argument goes for mankind’s good works; if salvation or any advantage for that matter is to be obtained according to prescribed regulations of conduct, then that’s it. No amount of grace can change the rules! Grace means grace and work means work. MIRROR

2 COR 9:8 And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity. AMP ↓↓↓
2 COR 9:8 Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything —every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do. TPT

2 COR 12:9 Finally it dawned on me that grace is God’s language; he doesn’t speak “thorn-langauge”! He said to me, “My grace elevates you, to be fully content.” And now, instead of being overwhelmed with a sense of my own weakness, he overwhelms me with an awareness of his strength! Oh what bliss to rejoice in the fact that in the midst of my frailties I encounter the dynamic of the grace of God to be my habitation! MIRROR

1 COR 15:9 It was fitting that I bring up the rear. I don’t deserve to be included in that inner circle, as you well know, having spent all those early years trying my best to stamp God’s church right out of existence.
10 But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. MSG
↓↓↓
1 COR 15:9 Because I persecuted the church of God, I cannot even begin to rate myself along with the Apostles. I am the least of the least and unworthy to even be called an Apostle.
10 While my own doing completely disqualified me; his doing now defines me. I am what I am by the grace of God. I am because he is! His grace was not wasted on me; instead I am inspired to labor beyond the point of exhaustion, more than anything I ever did under the law of performance; whatever it is that I accomplish now has grace written all over it. I take no credit for it. MIRROR

HEB 4:16 For this reason we can approach the authoritative throne of grace with bold utterance. We are welcome there in his embrace, and are reinforced with immediate effect in times of trouble. MIRROR

John 1:16 For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.

ACTS 20:32 ‘“And so now, I entrust you into God’s hands and the message of his grace, which is all that you need to become strong. All of God’s blessings are imparted through the message of his grace, which he provides as the spiritual inheritance given to all of his holy ones. ‘ TPT

ROM 1:5 Through him grace cascaded into us, empowering us with the gift of apostleship, so that we can win people from every nation into the obedience that comes from faith, to bring honor to his name.
6 And you are among the chosen ones who are called to belong to Jesus, the Anointed One. TPT

PS 103:8 God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love.
9 He doesn’t endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.
10 He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. MSG

ISA 30:19 Oh yes, people of Zion, citizens of Jerusalem, your time of tears is over. Cry for help and you’ll find it’s grace and more grace. The moment he hears, he’ll answer. MSG

JONAH 4:2 He yelled at God, “God! I knew it – when I was back home, I knew this was going to happen! That’s why I ran off to Tarshish! I knew you were sheer grace and mercy, not easily angered, rich in love, and ready at the drop of a hat to turn your plans of punishment into a program of forgiveness! MSG

MATT 6:6 “Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace. MSG

MATT 11:29 Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.

ROM 5:2 And that’s not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand – out in the wide open spaces of God’s grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise. MSG

ROM 6:3 Or didn’t you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace – a new life in a new land! MSG

Hebrews 9:12 And he has entered once and forever into the Holiest Sanctuary of All, not with the blood of animal sacrifices, but the sacred blood of his own sacrifice. And he alone has made our salvation secure forever!
13 Under the old covenant the blood of bulls, goats, and the ashes of a heifer were sprinkled on those who were defiled and effectively cleansed them outwardly from their ceremonial impurities.
14 Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit he has offered himself to God as the perfect Sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the living God. TPT

Heb 9: 26 For then would He often have had to suffer [over and over again] since the foundation of the world. But as it now is, He has once for all at the consummation and close of the ages appeared to put away and abolish sin by His sacrifice [of Himself]. AMP PUT AWAY-Cancellation – disannulling, to thwart the efficacy of anything, to nullify, to frustrate it, rejected, to make void

BLOOD SPEAKS Gen 4:9 The Lord asked Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he answered. “Am I supposed to take care of my brother?”
10 The Lord asked, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
11 So now you are cursed from the ground, which has received the blood of your brother whom you killed.
12 When you farm the ground, it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a fugitive, a wanderer on the earth.” GOD’S WORD

Heb 12:24 And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. AMP

Romans 5:9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. TPT

1 John 1:7 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. AMP

Hebrews 10:9 And then he said, “God, I will be the One to go and do your will.” So by being the sacrifice that removes sin, he abolishes animal sacrifices and replaces that entire system with the new covenant. TPT

I Cor 10:18 I’ve been told many times that when you meet as a congregation, divisions and cliques emerge—and to some extent, this doesn’t surprise me.

20 When all of your house churches gather as one church family, you are not really properly celebrating the Lord’s Supper.
21 For when it comes time to eat, some gobble down their food before anything is given to others—one is left hungry while others become drunk!
22 Don’t you all have homes where you can eat and drink? Don’t you realize that you’re showing a superior attitude by humiliating those who have nothing? Are you trying to show contempt for God’s beloved church? How should I address this appropriately? If you’re looking for my approval, you won’t find it!
23 I have handed down to you what came to me by direct revelation from the Lord himself. The same night in which he was handed over, he took bread
24 and gave thanks. Then he distributed it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat your fill. It is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
25 He did the same with the cup of wine after supper and said, “This cup seals the new covenant with my blood. Drink it—and whenever you drink this, do it to remember me.”
26 Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are retelling the story, proclaiming our Lord’s death until he comes.
27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit will be guilty of dishonoring the body and blood of the Lord.
28 So let each individual first evaluate his own attitude and only then eat the bread and drink the cup.

32 But when we are judged, it is the Lord’s training so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
33 So then, my fellow believers, when you assemble as one to share a meal, show respect for one another and wait for all to be served.

WHATEVER HAS YOUR IMAGINATION HAS YOUR FAITH 10-10-25 VIDEO STEVE
Imagination is the power to for mental pictures, ideas, and concepts, not present to your senses at this time. If persuaded, the imagination can show you new possibilities or how to understand the world in different ways. The devil tempted Eve into the hope of changing her imagination When she saw the tree instead of seeing the reality of it, she saw it in her imagination. She forgot who she was. We can use our imagination to see our self in Christ. Jesus set us free from imagining the wrong things. Worry is imagining something that is in conflict with our faith. God used his imagination to create mankind. Use your imagination to believe you have received what you have asked for.
HEB 11:1 Persuasion confirms confident expectation and proves the unseen world to be more real than the seen. Faith celebrates as certain what hope visualizes as future. MIRROR

GEN 3:6 When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it – she’d know everything! – she took and ate the fruit and then gave some to her husband, and he ate.
7 Immediately the two of them did “see what’s really going on” – saw themselves naked! They sewed fig leaves together as makeshift clothes for themselves.
8 When they heard the sound of God strolling in the garden in the evening breeze, the Man and his Wife hid in the trees of the garden, hid from God. MSG

2 COR 11:3 I am concerned for you that you might pine away through the illusion of separation from Christ and that, just like Eve, you might become blurry-eyed and deceived into believing a lie about yourselves. The temptation was to exchange the truth about our completeness (I am) with the idea of incompleteness (I am not) and shame; thinking that perfection required your toil and all manner of wearisome labor!
4 You will know by the echo within you whether the Jesus someone else preaches is the same Jesus we proclaim to you. You will recognize the same spirit; if it is a different spirit, it is not the same gospel! Why would you politely put up with deception, even if it comes packaged in prominent names and titles!
5 I am not inferior by any calculation to those Apostles so highly ranked in your estimate!
6 I am not here to entertain you with my public speaking skills, or to impress you with me, but to impress you with you! It is not in the plausible sounding words of my conversation, it is in what I know to be true about you. This is clearly evident in all of our dealings with you. MIRROR

2 COR 10:4 The dynamic of our strategy is revealed in God’s ability to disengage mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses for centuries!
5 Every lofty idea and argument positioned against God’s knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We 1arrest every thought at spear point – anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence is taken captive. The caliber of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. MIRRO

3 Your union with his death broke the association with that world; see yourselves located in a fortress where your life is hidden with Christ in God!

We are included in the same bliss and joined-oneness with him; just as his life reveals you, your life reveals him. MIRROR

COL 3:1 So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life – even though invisible to spectators – is with Christ in God. He is your life.

LUKE 9:47 Jesus was aware of the reasonings in their hearts and took a little child to him and said,
48 “To embrace a little child is to embrace me – for a moment, forget about the great things you’ve witnessed and done – imagine me as this little child – to see the significance of life hiding in a little one, is to see what my Father sees in everyone – the Father’s honor is vested in the little child – your greatness is not in how famous you can be in your own, or someone else’s estimate, but in discovering your individual value in your Father’s embrace. MIRROR

LUKE 12:33 From now on, do life from a different perspective! Stuff does not define you! Exchange whatever it was that you’ve been doing all along under the old system of performance, for this new life of adventure! Get it over and done with! Be compassion driven in your sharing and giving; this takes hoarding out of the equation. Get rid of your antique purses, which typically are your old, worn-out, performance-based ideas. Instead, become creative in the adventure of trading with a new kind of purse – one that is loaded with heaven’s currency – a treasure which cannot be exhausted, since it cannot be broken into or stolen, neither can it be ruined by moths! The stuff you’ve been hoarding before, are clearly targets for thieves and they get moth eaten anyway! MIRROR

It is the Father in me who defines me. My works exhibit his resolve.
12 I want you to be fully convinced about this, anyone whose belief concludes in who I am, will also do the works that I do. And because of my relocation to continue to be face to face with my Father, my works will be greatly multiplied through you; the Father is as present in you as he is in me.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH 9-27-25 VIDEO spoken Word truth 22
Truth is that which the mature revelation of how God thinks and has created things. His Word reflects 100% of how He thinks, feels, speaks, and loves us. Truth is important to Him. The truth is personal. It’s embodied in Jesus. Truth He speaks, would remain the truth for all of eternity. It has the power to set all who hear Him free!

LUKE 6:26 “There’s trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests – look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.
27 “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst.
28 When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person.
29 If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it.

JN 8:32 For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.” TPT

JN 8:44 “You are the offspring of your father, the devil, and you serve your father very well, passionately carrying out his desires. He’s been a murderer right from the start! He never stood with the truth, for he’s full of nothing but lies—lying is his native tongue. He is a master of deception and the father of lies!
45 But I am the true Prince who speaks nothing but the truth, yet you refuse to believe and you want nothing to do with me. TPT

JN 18:37 Pilate then said, “So you are a king?” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. My destiny was to be born in the flesh and for this purpose have I come into the world to bear testimony to the truth. Everyone who recognizes their true origin, hears my voice.”
38 Pilate then asked him, “What is truth?” Without giving him a chance to respond, he went outside again to face the Sanhedrin and said to them, “I find no cause for any accusation in this man.”
39 But since it is custom that I should release one of your prisoners during your festive time, would you be happy for me to pardon the King of the Jews for this Passover?”
40 They shouted back, “No, not this one, but Barabbas!” Barabbas was a Jewish freedom fighter, probably the leader of the band which included the other two who were crucified with Jesus. MIRROR
Pilot believe truth is relative. For him it was truth, but Jesus was innocent, but for the Jews, they believed he was guilty. The truth, Jesus spoke of, would not change from situation the situation.

MATT 5:11 “Not only that – count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable.
12 You can be glad when that happens – give a cheer, even! – for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble. MSG

1 COR 5:20 We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you. MSG

EPH 1:13 And because of him, when you who are not Jews heard the revelation of truth, you believed in the wonderful news of salvation. Now we have been stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit.

1 JN 4:6 But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception. MSG

2 JN 1:1 My dear congregation, I, your pastor, love you in very truth. And I’m not alone – everyone who knows the Truth

Rev 19:10 Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].
