Pontius PilateAnd the trial of Jesus
I. Who is responsible for
the death of Christ
??
(Joh 18:28) Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be
defiled; but that they might eat the passover. Pilate then went out unto them,
and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and
said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not
lawful for us to put any man to death: That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should
die.
A. The change of mind by PILATE
(Mat 27:19) When he was set down on the judgment seat,
his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man:
for I have suffered many things this day in a dream
because of him.
B. The PURPOSE he
is being tried by the
Romans
(Joh 3:14) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
Son of man be lifted up:
(Joh 12:32) And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will
draw all men unto me.
C. Who do we POINT to
for taking Jesus life?
(Rev 1:7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye
shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
(Joh 10:17) Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might
take it again.
(Joh 10:18) No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to
take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
II. Is Jesus the King
??
(Joh 18:33-36) Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the
Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of
me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus
answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would
my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my
kingdom not from hence.
A. Who is PRESIDING over your
life
III. What is truth
??
(Joh 18:37) Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou
sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the
world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth
my voice.
(Joh 18:38) Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went
out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
A. What is the PLUMB
LINE?
(Joh 14:6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(Joh 17:17) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word
is truth.
(Amo 7:7-8) Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord
stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest
thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I
will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them
any more:
(Pro 14:12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are
the ways of death.
III. Who will you chose
??
(Joh 18:39) But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
(Joh 18:40) Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now
Barabbas was a robber.
A. Seeing him as our
PROPITIATION
(Joh 1:12) But as many as received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name:
