Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?"
Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. 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."
Pilate asked him, "What is truth?"
John 18:37-38
What is truth? Here's (oh, you'll never guess who I'm gonna quote) Nouwen on the matter:
"Jesus sends us the Spirit so that we may be led to the full truth of the divine life. Truth does not mean an idea, concept or doctrine, but the true relationship. To be led into the truth is to be led into the same relationship that Jesus has with the Father; it is to enter into a divine betrothal." (Making All Things New 54)
Gives "The truth will set you free" all new meaning, eh?

Enjoyed this so much I used some of this in my mussings, thanks. It does give a distinct twist to Truth and an added hope to the unlimited scope of our relationship with God.
