Weird Ideas: Suffered Under Pontius PilateSample
Here’s a strange move. Write a statement of faith about Jesus. Then, choose to name a person in your statement of faith who doesn’t believe in Jesus. That’s what happens in the Apostles’ Creed.
The Apostles’ Creed is the first universally held statement of faith by early Christians outside the Bible. It’s meant to be a summary that highlights the key beliefs and central tenets of Christianity. While organized in a Trinitarian fashion, it centers on Jesus. But other than the Father and the Holy Spirit, the only other person named is Pontius Pilate – a person who rejected Jesus and condemned him.
Of all the people you could mention, why Pontius Pilate?
This week’s reading plan explores the significance of naming Pilate. For now, just read the story from John about Pilate’s interaction with Jesus.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes.
