Today's readings: John 16-18 and Proverbs 6:12-15.
Jesus does not promise a life free from suffering. During his public ministry, he faces derision, humiliation, and pain - ultimately, the loss of everything except his Father... Jesus is betrayed and handed over to Pilate, who asks him, "What is truth?" (John 18:38). This is a pertinent question for our relativistic age. Today, many say, "You have your truth, and I have mine." Jesus challenges this notion, saying that everyone who hears his voice hears the truth. While Jesus says that he has come to gather the lost sheep of the house of Israel, he makes it clear that his saving mission is for people of every nation. (p. 222)
