For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice. It is Pilate's last question that exposes the divine judgment in this dramatic moment. The Divine Right of the King Jesus' royal character is never more apparent than when he hangs on the tree. It is here that Pilate's last question is finally answered.
Truth is the empty tomb and a new creation for all humanity.
Truth is Pilate's quibbling and sidestepping swallowed up by the work of the Son of God who was sent, lived, died, and was raised because God so loves the world. Pilate's trial of Jesus turned in a direction that Pilate certainly never anticipated, the initiative belongs to Jesus. Reach out you hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe. The salvation work is done.
