Pilate's Perplexing Problem

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Pilate was convinced that Jesus was not worthy of crucifixion, but he compromised and sent Jesus to the cross anyway, and by that choice he went from a hero to a zero in the history of Christianity.

Pilate was appointed procurator of Judea in A.D. 26, which was only about 3 years before the crucifixion of Christ, but already he had so much trouble with the Jews that he despised them. When he first came to Jerusalem he discovered that it was about the only city in the whole Roman Empire that ...read more

I Met Him When I Had No Choice Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 28, 2021

Jesus stands before Pilate. It seems that Jesus is being swept away by the events surrounding Him but the TRUTH is that Jesus is the only one in control. It is Pilate and the Jewish leaders who are being swept up in a battle that they cannot see or control.

Governor Pilate stood on the balcony of the praetorium, his headquarters, and looked down at the mobs milling around in the streets below. “Ugh!” he thought. Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more

The "rock And Wave" Of Evangelism

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 24, 2024

Jesus did not behave the same in every situation. Sometimes, he stood like a "rock" and other times he disrupted like a "wave." This is a short explanation of two ways in which we can be impactful in a way that brings others closer to Christ to the glory of God the Father.

What is the rock and wave of evangelism? This is a framework of how to function as light in a world of darkness. Jesus told his followers that “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14) Let’s take a deeper dive into that: 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more
