Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 27: 20-44

Focus Verse:  Matthew 27: 24  "Pilate saw that he wasn't getting anywhere and that a riot was developing.  So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd saying, I am innocent of the blood of this man.  The responsibility is yours!"

Every person must decide who Jesus is for themselves and what they will do with Him.  He is either a liar, crazy, or He is Lord.  The people thought Jesus should prove who He was and save Himself by coming down off the cross.  But instead He proved who He was by raising Himself from the dead and coming out of the tomb.

Pilate made a big mistake by listening to the public opinion and what the crowd wanted.  He washed his hands of the matter and did what was easy rather than what was right.  Every person on earth will either accept Him or reject Him, confess Him or deny Him.  Only two choices.  You must make the decision yourself.  You might say "I just won't make any decision", but to make no decision is to reject Him, and by that decision you will spend an eternity in a place called hell.

Jesus went to the cross so that no person should ever go to hell. Choose Jesus, choose life today.  Jesus is the Son of God, the Redeemer of all humanity.  Repent of your sins and come to Him.  He is waiting for you.
