Did you know that the instigators of the communist regime were Jews, Engels, Marx, all the rest of them were Jews, if you're Jewish extraction the Lord bless you, I'm not talking about that, so you see they've all been thought up as anti -God things by the very people to whom God first manifest himself, and when he did he came as a Jew, what a lot they have to answer for, and what a lot we have to rejoice in, all right, I was born to begin, he doesn't put it that way, and everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice, if you only be true to yourself, knowing not much about eternal truth, he'll manifest himself, if you really are after truth, the truth of living, not working out theories, the Lord wants us to know what it's about, what is truth says Pilate, what is truth, didn't even know what truth was, and he was one of the brainiest and most authoritative men in the world, and he confessed he didn't know what truth was, and Carlile, an English philosopher long before you were born and I was born, he wrote an essay and he started off, what is truth, the jesting Pilate asked, Carlile didn't know, he was accepted to be one of our great philosophers in England, tell me what truth is will you, you've got a theory about truth, what's that, it's the opposite to a lie, listen friend, you are living a lie, unless you are living Christ out through you on this earth, you are a wrong interpretation of flesh and blood, and what it's all about being born, shake you don't mind, I should be glad when this fella stopped his lectures, here's the truth beloved, you've been conned, and you don't know it, until you let God give you his own life, which we call newness of life, when you get it by a new birth, however much you believe, you will not understand it, it's so tremendous, comes down to these things beloved, what is truth he said and when he said this he went out, he didn't think there was an answer to it, what is true, he could say I'm the truth in this place for you Jews, at my word you do this and at my word you do that, that's him, but he had enough sense in the end to put on that cross, this is Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews, and it was not only an offering for all people to read, for it was written in three languages, the language of art, the language of commerce, and so on, here's the thing for us to understand beloved, you've got to come to understand, it has to do with your birth, and nothing to do with your first birth, except you were very blessed, if you were born in a land where at least the gospel was being preached, it gave you an opportunity, if you were, it's your business to see that the other lands get the truth, it's a mighty thing, you have a custom he said, I don't find any fault in Jesus, I'm not sending him to the cross because I think he's a sinner, or he's never done anything against Rome, my master Caesar, there's no fault, not even a fault, you may fault me, say well he was always going to sleep when he was preaching, or something like that, you may find fault with me, but Jesus, Pilate as one recognised throughout civilised lands that he was one of the greatest jurists, judges that ever lived, you don't find that in the bible, that's what men said, discovered about him, and he didn't know what truth was, on his own confession, but he worshipped, misread, worshipped, and all the things that the Romans did, unto emptiness, fancy worshipping what doesn't exist, in your mind, beloved, this gospel will search you out to the very soles of your feet, you have a custom, it says that I should release unto you one at the Passover, will he therefore I release unto you the king of the Jews, then cried they all again, saying not this man, but Barabbas, now Barabbas was a robber, you may know this, Barabbas is the word, it's in his name, do you know what it means, son of the father, false god, never forget that, it was a choice between the real god, and the false god, well I've achieved my purpose, I wanted to get through two chapters, I'll try and get through two tomorrow, and on the last morning, we'll take the odd chapter, and we'll be through, here there beloved, is the wonder, you will know how much that man who was very cute, named representative Caesar, the highest earthly power, you will know that he and Herod, who was a puppet king, under Rome, they allowed him to keep his title, and his kingdom, which was all Palestine, as it was called then, but he and Caesar, I'm quoting from information in the other Gospels, all right, bothered, John doesn't bother with it, he wants to show you Jesus Christ, not the petty quarrels that happen in the very highest circles, I could illustrate it for you, who know these things of England, you know the things of your own countries, from which you may come, that they're quarrelling about now, in one of the parties, who's going to be the boss, the very thing, it's never changed, this world has never changed beloved, never, because they've rejected Jesus Christ, that would have changed the whole world, if they'd accepted him, so he and Herod, and they came together, over the death of Jesus Christ, we did in the Synoptic Gospels, they're there, and well, they'd been out, and won't say at each other's throat, but Pilate hadn't got a good word to say for Herod, had to be careful what he said about Pilate, but they were daggers drawn, and they became friends, superficially friends, over the death of Jesus Christ, but what Pilate put on that cross, was really what he believed, or he hadn't got, excuse the vulgarity, the guts, to stand by what he believed, this is Jesus, the King, not you Herod, he even got at Herod over it, this is the real King, and that's why Jesus said to him, when you do it, thou sayest that I am a King, I'm listening to your hearts, and your mind, your unspoken thoughts, you're saying that I am the King, and I am the King, but he wrote it out, and put it on the cross, but Pilate showed exactly what he thought about Herod, and had in the end to confess what he knew about Christ, that's why he called for a bowl of water, and washed his hands, at the end of that trial, because his wife told him that she has suffered, how many men make their wives suffer, inside, I suffered many things in the night, so Pilate, as a coward that he was, did all those kinds of things, washed his hands, now look, there isn't a person in this world, that can wash their hands of Jesus, it's a symbolic gesture, but they can't do it, and that's part of the reason why every knee has got to bow to Jesus at the end, every single knee, of every single man and woman in the world, what a wonderful thing, but just because they bow their knee, they won't be saved, salvation comes from a conviction in your heart and mine, not on the personal side, that Jesus Christ was the king of love, the king of salvation, the king that came onto this earth, stepping onto it from the invisible, into the visible, only to be killed, you'll have to bow your knees, and you can tell all the congregations you may speak to in the future, that you've got to bow your knee, and you will have to do what God says, me, oh, can't you hear them, for in the end God will say, you go to hell, and they'll have to go, and they'll say to others, you come and share heaven with me, they'll have to, they're the biggest blaspheming atheists that's ever breathed, they'll have to acknowledge, they'll have to bother me, and they'll have to do as they are told, now salvation begins with that, you have to do what you are told, it's the stubborn refusal, nobody's going to tell me what to do, I'll live as I think, well, you can share hell with the devil then, you've got to do what God tells you, either now or then, so it's wonderful, and now I'll let you go, God bless you.
