Pilate the Governor was a conflicted man at the trial of Jesus. While believing Jesus was an innocent man and wanting to release Him, Pilate also wanted to satisfy the crowd. In the end, he decided to wash his hands of responsibility and send Jesus to be crucified. Many today face the same conflict of wanting to stand with Jesus but also satisfy the crowd. Every soul must make this eternal choice. Washing our hands does not free us from judgment.

The first time Jesus came, He arrived in obscurity in a small town, born in a manger. The next time He comes, the sky will split like a scroll and He will be revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. He is no longer a carpenter but King. Are you ready to meet Him? All will face Him as Judge or Savior. LUKE 2:1-7 LUKE 2:8-16 ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE: REVELATION 19:11-15 REVELATION 1:5-7 PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11 ISAIAH 7:14 ISAIAH 9:6-7 MATTHEW 1:21 HEBREWS 9:28
It Is Finished
December 19, 2021 • John 19:25–30
At the cross, Jesus uttered His final declaration when He said, “It is finished.” When He died, He finished the wrath of God for all who will believe. He finished the separation between God and man created by sin. He finished the power of death and furnished evidence of the resurrection to come by raising dead saints to life at the time of His death and resurrection. All people will respond to his truth by either believing in Him or rejecting Him.
