First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange Texas

In John 18:33-37, Jesus, during his trial before Pilate, declares that his true kingdom is not of this world and that his primary purpose is to "bear witness to the truth," essentially stating that he is the embodiment of truth itself, not a political ruler seeking earthly power; the passage emphasizes that Jesus' kingship lies in his commitment to truth and his willingness to die for it, even when facing a seemingly unjust trial.
