Gail's Quote: What is Truth?


One quote I've always loved to ponder is the infamous Pilate's "What is truth?"
spoken just before he washes his hands of any guilt.  This quote speaks to us as loudly today as it did 2000 years ago.  Our eyes, ears, and hearts are inundated with moral relativism, fake news, tweets, and opinions.   So, what is truth?  Truth is reality . The truth comes from our Creator and it is absolute as God is absolute.  
I found this image from some online clip art and added the quote.  The water represents purity, the hands represent humanity, the copper bowl represents the earth, and the green background represents hope.  I really liked this challenge and being Lent I thought this quote was most appropriate.  Happy Passover and Happy Easter!

  6. Amazing and very timely quilt. On Sunday, Christians celebrate the Risen Christ. As we've moved through the Lenten Season, I've often wondered about Pilate's reaction to "What is Truth?"
    Beautiful and thoughtfully done !

  8. "What is Truth"? such a powerful quote and it's answer is possibly based on opinion rather than fact. I really admire the thoughtfulness of this piece and the dense background quilting showcases the text and image.
