The Gospel of John chapter 18 verse 37 '"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."'
He died testifying to something true and died knowingly. It was for you, for me. So what truth could be so important and so potentially beneficial to His hearers and to us that it was worth dying to reveal? Surely the greatest revelation uniquely associated with the coming and life on Earth of Jesus Christ: His resurrection. God in love and power was and is and ever will be so dependable that Jesus could die depending on Him to raise Him from the dead; and God did just that. God raised His obedient and much loved Son to live forever. That love and power and dependability of God is the truth Jesus put out there and died to do so.
