Matthew's account of Jesus' Passion, as viewed from its own Biblical, historical and theological context.

A REVERENT ACCOUNT OF A HORRIFIC EVENT. Matthew 27:11-54. It is quite remarkable that two acts within Matthew’s account of our Lord’s judicial murder are passed over quite without the gory details which our modern culture seems to demand. Each is referred to by a single word in the Greek, each ...read more

Christ Before Pilate, Pilate Before Christ

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 13, 2017

We find, when Pilate called Jesus in for judgment, that it wasn't Jesus who was on trial, but Pilate! Imagine how it will be at the Great White Throne Judgment when Pilate stands before the King of Kings in blazing splendor! How terrible it will be!

CHRIST BEFORE PILATE, PILATE BEFORE CHRIST Mt. 27:11-26; Jn. 19:6-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE STATE DINNER 1.

Almost

Contributed by Derrick Strickland on Mar 19, 2016

What They Didn't Know Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 27, 2016

When Jesus was crucified, some turned away and some ran away from Him. But there was at least one man didn't do that and his life changed forever. Do you know who that man was?

Ghosts Of The Godly

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

Dead Christians came out of the graves when Jesus rose from the dead, and this leads to many questions about the ghosts of the godly.

History is full of the weird and mysterious in relation to the dead. In Barbados, in the West Indies, in 1812, a vault was opened and three coffins were in a confused state. In 1815 and 1819 it was opened, and again, each time the coffins were in disarray. The Governor, Lord Cambermere had the ...read more

Listen To Your Wife

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

By listening to his wife he could have become a noble hero. There could have been St. Pilate churches all through history, and Pilate could have become a popular Christian name. But Pilate blew it because he would not listen to his wife.

Is there a man alive whose wife has never said, "You should have listened to me?" The pages of history are red with the blood of men who should have listened to their wives. Calpurnia pleaded with Caesar on that fatal Ides of March not to leave the house. She had a restless night, and ...read more

Pilate's Wife

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

Anti-Semitism Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 3, 2022

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.”

The British have a condescending saying: “How odd of God to choose the Jews.” They sneeringly look down on God’s chosen people. Yet God’s choice is not odd. The Jews chose God. And through them came our Savior. Some people deny that Jesus was Jewish; the idea that Jesus was a Jew is ...read more

The Dream Of Pilate’s Wife

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 9, 2022

Pilate had to face the decision of what to do with Jesus. With sins dragging on him and forces of evil crying for Christ's blood, Pilate stood in the balance. Just then, his wife had a dream from God to warn him. We all are warned not to decide this wrongly.

THE DREAM OF PILATE’S WIFE Matt. 27:11-26 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE AGGIE’S LAST REQUEST 1. Back in the Old West three Texas cowboys were about to be hung for cattle rustling. The lynch mob brought the three men to a tree that hung over the Rio Grande River. 2. The idea was that after each ...read more

The Cost Of Good Friday

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 3, 2015

There is a cost to every gift and the Gift of Easter was bought and paid for on Good Friday

Sometimes we hear people refer to the gift of Easter, and on Sunday we are going to reflect on the generosity that made Easter a reality for us, and for the gifts that are extended to us because of the resurrection. But that is Sunday and this is Friday. You see there couldn’t be a Sunday ...read more

Whose In Charge?

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 29, 2011

Jesus' trial before Pilate was a hodge-podge of differing desires. But they are all just background noise to what was really going on, and what God was using to bring about His purpose.

Passage: Matthew 27:11-26 Intro: It’s very interesting to watch the wrangling in Washington these days. 1. debt-ceiling debate, a lot at stake. 2. we know that much going on “behind the scenes”, as people seek to gain the upper hand of power. 3. trade-offs, promises, ...read more
