Quest for Truth
Confucius was a philosopher in ancient China, sometimes regarded as “lord” and “master” because of his wisdom. I think he was bothered that so many men of his time didn’t know who they were, where they were headed, or how they would get there.
Some people listened and were helped by his truth. Those who didn’t like what he said went their own way.
Pilate said, “Are you a king, then?”
Jesus said, “Yes, you could say that. For that reason, I was born. I came into this world to testify to the truth. Everyone who wants the truth hears my voice.”
“What is truth?” Pilate said.
— John 18:37–38
