Do All Roads Lead To Rome?

Introduction

In our culture we are told this statement that “All Roads eventually lead to Rome.”

Our society say there are many truths, they would say things like “That is your truth” Not mine. Do you guys believe that is true?

We live in a society that is not interested in knowing truth

*Difference between truth and absolute truth

Pilate and Jesus on truth John 18:36-38

John 18:36–38 ESV

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.

Just like Pi;ate the world doesn't care about what truth really is!

John 8:12 ESV

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

6. “I am the true vine.” (John 15:1 By attached ourselves to Christ, we enable His life to flow in and through us. Then we cannot help but bear fruit that will honor the Father.
