Know His Truth
January 11, 2026
In a world overflowing with data yet starving for meaning, Jesus makes a powerful claim—not that He teaches the truth, but that He is the Truth. In part two of The Jesus Road, we explore the difference between facts and truth, between information and revelation, and between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him personally. Through Jesus’ conversation with Pilate, we see that truth is relational, not just rational; transformational, not just informational.
Passage
John 18:33-38; John 14:6
Principle
Truth is more than a set of ##facts##; truth is a ##person##, and His name is ##Jesus##.
Practice
Know the Truth by ##doing## what Jesus ##did##.
Small Group Questions
