Jesus, In Our Place
I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.
I love to tell the story,
’Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story;
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all my golden dreams,
I love to tell the story,
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.

Is He King or not?
I love to tell the story;
’Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story;
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy Word.
I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story,
That I have loved so long.

Who do you think you are?
The they here are the Jews religious rulers.
These are the men spear heading this whole thing.
They have been against him from the beginning of his ministry.
We talked about it last week.
These Jews are spiritually dead in their sins.
They see the truth and they are doing whatever necessary to suppress the truth in their unrighteousness.
Verse 28 is interesting.
They don’t want to be defiled.
So they lead him to Pilate and then refuse to go in to Pilate’s house.
They thought they would be ritually unclean and unable to eat the Passover meal if they went into the Gentiles home.
There’s two pieces of irony here.
They are concerned with being ritually unclean all the while committing murder against the Son of God.
The second piece of irony here is that the Passover meal means nothing for them apart from Christ.
To reject Jesus as God is to reject the God of the Passover.
The Passover was supposed to point them to Christ.
It was not the end, its a means to an end.
Here is where we see these men are blind.
They think their religiosity means they are clean, but their hearts are so far away from God, they can’t even grasp the hypocrisy here.
This is the first time we even see the word accusation mentioned in the book of John with regard to the arrest and trial of Jesus.
Pilate asks the obvious question.
You want me to punish him.
What did he do?
What did Pilate ask them?
They don’t answer his question.
We wouldn’t have brought him to you if he wasn’t an evil doer.
its almost as if they get smart with Pilate here.
I think they are upset that he would even ask them any questions at all.
They had already had this conversation they thought when they enlisted the Roman Cohort, but Pilate now wants to ask questions.
This frustrates them, so Pilate essentially says, you handle it then.
Pilate says, Take him yourselves, but what had happened underneath Roman Law was that Jews could no longer execute.
They could condemn but the Romans had to be the ones to carry out the execution.
Jesus knew this was coming.
and he has spoken about it before.
Remember ?
In this regard, Jesus would have had to been killed by the Romans.
The Jews would have stoned him.
:14-15
Jesus isn’t taken off guard by this.
He is sovereign.
Pilate keeps Jesus there but he will go on with his questioning.
Pilate here is only concerned about Pilate. he is only concerned abut an uprising of Jesus’s followers.
Remember that just a few days before had been celebrated and cheered and worshipped by the Jews in Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover.
There seems to be a strong following, but really, there are few genuine followers of Christ.
But the whole reason Jesus is even in front of Pilate is that the Jews have convinced him that he is a problem and causing an uprising, and the Jewish leaders want Pilate to know that they want him dead.
Verse 34.
Jesus basically asked pilate, “Have you observed me trying to become king?”
