Jesus on Trial…

Luke 23:1-7
1 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

Jesus was following His Father’s direction. He would have to perish for our sins. It seems at this time that everyone is just playing their part in it.

Lord Jesus, I know that what you did for me was painful. I know you loved me then and that you love me now. I know that you will love me forever. For me you gave your life, and the way I understand it that I owe you mine. Therfore, I am yours. I surrender my life to you, today, tomorrow, and forever. I will worship and honor you until the day I die. Then I will worship you forever. I love you. Thank you Jesus!

Amen.
