Our opening scripture tells us that Jesus witnessed a good confession before Pilate. You must realize that our salvation hinges on our believing and confession of the Lordship of Jesus (Romans 10:9-10). Our confessions are pivotal for living the life of the kingdom of God. Heb 10:23 also enjoins us, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering". The word "profession" is the same as confession, translated from same Greek word homologia which means a declaration of agreement. Its verb, homologeo means to speak in full agreement or to speak the same thing. Now, our theme scripture tells us that Jesus gave a good confession before Pilate. What was that confession? There were words God spoke about Jesus and His mission. When He stood before Pilate, Jesus kept composure and spoke the same thing God had said. Neither the loud accusations of the Jewish leaders nor the authority of Pilate shook Him. He spoke in agreement with what God had said. A good confession is that which is founded on what God has spoken or decreed concerning you, Himself and His kingdom. Matthew 27:11 TLB furnishes us with the interesting conversation between Jesus and Pilate the Roman governor: "Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. 'Are you the Jews' Messiah?' The governor asked him. 'Yes,' Jesus replied". The Jewish Messiah also meant the King of the Jews as presented in the KJV and other versions. Take notice of the Lord's answer to the question. His reply was an affirmation of what God already said. He was not arrogant but stayed on God's truth and talked in agreement with truth. Zechariah had already prophesied about Him as King. Always say what God has said concerning you in Christ Jesus and concerning Himself. Speak in agreement with God's truth. For instance, the bible says you are a peculiar people in 1 Peter 2:9. When someone asks you, "do you think you're special?" Say "Yes" because you are agreeing with what God said already. That is a good confession. Stay on God's truth. Your confession is your destiny.
