This is Jesus' answer to Pilate in John 18:37. If you reread this verse...it is Jesus' mission statement: "the reason I was born"....."is to testify to the truth."
Jesus came into the world to speak truth...and just as He said...." Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." This explains why the religious folk did not listen to him. They figured they already had there way of doing things....they were not interested in seeking truth... and especially from a guy claiming to be God's son...the long awaited messiah.
Jesus not only came into the world to speak truth...He is the Truth.(remember John 14:6?) He is the very essence of truth...where truth begins ...He is the only way...He is God's Son...He is life. Jesus was who the religious folk had been waiting on...the Messiah...but yet they failed to listen to Him..."The Truth." Are you willing to seek out the Truth? (The One who came to bring us truth.)
