EASTER! Two.

‘What is Truth?

Many people today no longer bother with the truth, they live or exist in a world of lies and selfish want?

So we learn that it was the same in the Roman Empire, people were out for themselves and truth had no place or very little?

Jesus offered Pilate salvation, Jesus revealed his purpose for coming, but Pilate failed to comprehend and thus refused!

But he still knew that Jesus was an innocent man and that the religious leaders had Pilate in their pocket, so he rationalised to please them but other wise he was left doubting for the many years to come?

This salvation is still available and is waiting for all who will trust today!

John 3:11, 18:37-38, 1 John 3:19-20, Revelation 3:20.

EASTER! One.

Jesus reveals Himself to Pilate!

These two verses reveal much about the Lord and it would be wise to read Isaiah 53 today slowly and consider what Jesus has done for us who are born-again!

Easter and Christianity has many traditions and they way they see Jesus most of the time is not based on the Bible, but rather the feeling and impression of what we want Him to be?

Jesus does not claim Kingship of Himself, but rather confirms what Pilate the Roman says, He also reveals His Kingdom and his purpose of coming into the World!

These few lines sum up his role for us as much as the twelve verses in Isaiah 53!

Psalm 22:6-7, Isaiah 53:2, 12, Mark 9:11-13, John 18:37-38, 1 John 3:19-20.

Hearing the Truth. One.

Jesus came into the World!

It is only those who have heard and accepted the truth of Jesus words in relation to their need of Salvation, that receive the promises of Eternity with Him!

It is one thing to say that God sent His son into the world out of love, yes He did! But this does not mean that we continue in our sins after we come to know the Lord as many people today have ben deluded into believing?

It was thirty-three years after Jesus’ birth and hours before the cross, that  Pilate spoke the prophetic truth of who Jesus was and what role He had come into the world to achieve!

Mark 1:15,   Isaiah 9:9, 53:1-2,  4-7,   Luke 2:11,   John 18:37,   Acts 2:36-38.

Death and Resurrection. Part-Two.

Jesus reveals Himself.

To Pilate, the man privalidged with meeting the Son of the Creator God face to face. Pilate had been warned by his wife, after she had had a bad dream. Pilate was in a catch twenty-two situation, because he allowed himself to be manipulated by the religious court.

Pilate now was being witnessed to by the Messiah, but he was not able to grasp the truth. Roman society that he belonged to was full of corruption and deciet, so to him what was the truth?

Jesus reveals to us here that He is indeed the King of Kings and He has an army of angels aaiting orders for their final reuturn with Jesus at the end of the ages in the Fathers will.

John 18:36-37, Matthew 26:64, 27:11, Mark 14:62.

Crown of Thorns. Part-One.

Tortured for Us.

Jesus had to go this way to the cross/Stake/Tree, there was no other way for Him to make the Atonement by His blood for our failure and sin.

Pilate did his best to save this innocent and perfect man, but the religious leaders of Israel wanted Him dead.

But it was all in the will of God, that His only Son Jesus would go this way for us.

Isaiah 53:5,   John 19:2-3,  5,   1 Peter 2: 21-24,   3:18.

Easter. Part-Three.

‘Veritas.’

Pilate said to Jesus ‘What is truth?  Like Pilate when we look around the world and the society that we live in today, it is still hard to find the truth? We cannot be even sure if the media is reporting the truth about Syria, wither our elected politicians are truthful, etc.  John 18:35-38.

Pilate wanted so much to release Jesus, because he knew it was all a sham, but the religious leaders put him in a position that tied his hands.  Mark 15:10,   John 19:12,  15.

This is a place that we do not want to allow ourselves to get into, wither you are in teaching, local government, ministry or just what ever place of work or life.
