Last week, we looked at the trial of Jesus before Pilate. In an effort to not be involved, Pilate offered Barabbas (the son of the father) as a substitute for Jesus (the TRUE Son of the Father).

Jesus has finished the Passover Meal with His disciples, and the Mount of Olives. The purpose was for prayer - Jesus prayed to God the Father for His Will to be done.

Jesus has died. The temple veil/curtain was torn from top to bottom. In Jewish tradition, two curtains separated the Holy of Holies from the lesser Holy place during the period of the Second Temple. These curtains were woven with motifs directly from the loom, rather than embroidered, and each curtain…

Pilate was directly responsible to the Emperor for the administrative and financial management of the country. A man had to work himself up through the political and military ranks to become a procurator. Pilate was, therefore, an able man, experienced in the affairs of politics and government as well…

Jesus was not the king that the PEOPLE of Jerusalem wanted. Mark 15:7-12 John 19:13-16 There was one named Barabbas, who was in prison with rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion. The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom. Pilate answered them, “Do you want…

For the choir director: according to “The Deer of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning? My God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, by night, yet I have no rest. But you are holy, enthroned on the…

For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I will destroy…
