Intro
Rock and a hard place...
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
-Edmond Burke
In the midst of everyone else choosing self Jesus chooses us, chooses you!
Message
Last Week… The Long Night [26]
Jesus betrayed and arrested
Peter cuts off the ear
Jesus before Caiaphas & Council
claims to be Christ / Messiah
beaten and mocked
Peter [Conflicted] - denies Jesus
Jesus looks at him from inside
Peter breaks down weeping bitterly
beaten and mocked
questioned and condemned
Judas [conflicted]
remorse / return / rejected
Today… Conflicted [27]
Early Morning / Outside
rooster crowing
avoid the rush of people
done before ceremonies
[conflicted] - wanted him dealt with but did not want their hands dirty / wanted him dealt with but did not want to miss the passover / wanted him dealt with but not deal with people
Bound Him
their ignorance of Jesus
their ingenuity for conviction
their illustration of the Devil at the end of days
Pilate 1
Governor = Pilate, as prefect of Judea, (6th in line) had the sole authority to acquit or to condemn, and to determine the sentence.
[TNTC]
No friend of Jew or Gentile...
Tiberius was over him and was not pleased at recent events
known as hard, cold and calculating… even by friends
seized temple $ to finance aquaduct… led to insurrection… crushed harshly… last thing wanted was another riot
between a rock and a hard place… [conflicted]
Accusations
misleading our nation / forbidding tribute to Caesar / claiming to be the King… Treason to ROME
Wanted the death penalty… use Pilate for their bidding… “Rome killed the Christ!”
are you the king of the Jews?
Jesus
does not deny - He was born for such a time as this - His kingdom is not of this world
all gospels agree - gentiles are they who testify - first the magi now Pilate
this is what will be written over Him as he hangs on the cross
The Irony - he who is to judge all is here judged - he who has granted authority submits to he who is under it -
Pilate 2
Disbelief in the situation that is playing out before him… a poor man in rags… beaten and bloodied… celebrated yesterday, reviled today
All these accusations and not a single defense…?
tense is continued accusations…
He need not defend himself for this was His fathers will and the truth was already known
despicable to sentence an undefended man
Pilate could see threw the Jewish Leaders
In the very presence of TRUTH himself cannot recognize it [CONFLICTED]
was there not something kingly and regel about this man in spite of his current condition?
I find no guilt in this man!!
he is not my ward… Judea / Galilean
Herod
Matthew does not record this encounter… This is the Herod who killed John the Baptist
Herod wanted to see Jesus for some time now…!
Put his fears to rest… [conflicted] his wife and the prophets doom...
wanted a sign form him… questioned him… mocked him
dressed him up in splendid clothing, sent him back
Friendship at the expence of the humiliation of the King!!
Herod found him innocent as well ...
Pilate 3
[conflicted] - His wife tells him…
He knows his innocence … flogged and released
flogging in Rome
crown of thorns
mocked … afflicted
Passover feast tradition of prisoner release
Barabbas
son of the father… Rabi
insurrection… criminal in eyes of Rome… hero in eyes of Jerusalem
Matthew 27:22–26 (ESV)
22 Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”
They all said, “Let him be crucified!”
23 And he said, “Why?
What evil has he done?”
But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified!”
24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.”
25 And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” 26 Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
Rock and a hard place...
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,”
-Edmond Burke
Contemptuous
You are the Crowd
You care nothing for Jesus or the things of God
You are not conflicted at all … Let me beg of you to become so!
Your distain will lead to destruction
Careless
You are Herod
You have curiosity and nothing more
You are conflicted only lightly… Let me plead with you tarry not, harden not your hearts no further
Your unbelief is met with patience for a time
Hebrews 3-4 = Today is the day of your salvation!! Do not continue to harden your hearts to the things of God.
Cowardly
You are Pilate
You have looked truth full in the face and yet wash your hands of it
