When Jesus was before Pilot

    Over the last year I have been preaching through the book of Luke. We are finally coming to the time leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. As I have been studying it, it has blown me away at how unjust it was to sentence an innocent man to die. Both times Jesus was questioned before Pilot and Herod he was found to be innocent of the charges against him. I could not imagine what it would have looked like to be a disciple of Jesus during this time. It is clear from scripture that it was a fast process. In one commentary is was said that it all happened with-in 6 hours. It is a clear illustration of what John was wrote from Jesus' word in about in John 3:19-21 which says:

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” (NKJV)

    I am not one to recommend movies to anyone, but in this case with the Passion of Christ, I found the way Pilot presented Jesus along side Barbabas to be very insightful. I do not recommend watching the whole movie to any one as it shows the sheer violence surrounding the death of Jesus as well as one man's interpretation of the death of Jesus. I would not recommend watching the rest of this video either as it is one of the most horrific parts of the movie where Jesus is being whipped. But with the illustration of Pilot trying to present Jesus along side of a man who was proven to be a murderer and leader of a rebellion, it sheds light on to what man will choose over Jesus and how Jesus took our place and took on himself our sin as it says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 says
"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (NKJV)
