Epic (Part 4): The Storyline Of The BibleSample
Jesus could not be put to death by the Jewish courts because the Romans had placed that restriction on the Jews. So, Jesus had to be tried by the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent but had him crucified anyway. Like the Pharisees, he was more interested in the opinion of the people than doing the right thing.
Jesus was subject to a series of unfair trials where he was accused of things that were not true. For most, this would be a difficult thing to endure, but Jesus suffered in silence. He was prepared to die on our behalf. He was willing to be humiliated for us. What are you willing to sacrifice for him?

About this Plan
This is final part of a four part plan to read the books of the Bible that tell of the historical events. Although the Bible contains many stories, it is one epic story of God’s interactions with humanity. One day per week can be used to catch up on missed readings or for reflection. Notes are also included to assist with understanding.
