What's In The Bible: Holy WeekSample

After being brought to trial by Jewish leaders, Jesus was sentenced to die on a cross. The Jewish leaders did not have the authority to put someone to death, so they appealed to the Roman leader Pontius Pilate. Pilate said that Jesus was not guilty, but the Jewish leaders cried out "crucify him!” Jesus suffered a horrible beating, the mocking of the people, and ultimately was separated from God while he died.

Let's pray, asking God to be with us as we reflect on the sadness of Good Friday. Let's thank Jesus for enduring a horrible punishment in our place.
