When we discover the truth about Jesus, we will boldly follow His voice, embracing His leadership over the noise of the crowd.
Like Pilate, we sometimes struggle to discern the truth about who Jesus is!
1.What accusation do you bring against this man?
2. Are you the King of the Jews?
3. What is truth?
Like Pilate, we sometimes prioritize the crowd's voice over the Lord’s voice!
Pilate tried to avoid making a decision regarding Jesus.
· Pilate attempted to return Jesus to the Jewish Leaders.
· Pilate attempted to send Jesus to Herod since Jesus was from Galilee.
· Pilate attempted to free Jesus rather than the notorious criminal, Barabbas.
· Pilate ordered the flogging of Jesus.
Like Pilate, we sometimes try to do things our own way instead of embracing the Lord’s leadership!
What mistakes did Pilate make?
· He prioritized the wrong things.
· He feared the wrong things.
· He ignored God’s warning.
· He followed popular opinion and failed to stand firmly for what he knew was right.
Who is Jesus to you?
· Don’t prioritize the wrong things.
· Don’t fear the wrong things.
· Don’t ignore God’s warning.
· Don’t follow popular opinion; stand firm for what you know is right.
When we discover the truth about Jesus, we will boldly follow His voice, embracing His leadership over the noise of the crowd.
