Jesus stood in front of him. His wife had been bothered about this man, Jesus, in her dream last night. It literally woke her up. And now, here He is. This beaten, bloody, itinerant rabbi who’d often been seen preaching openly in the temple. He was celebrated just 4 days ago. Monday He triumphantly entered the city to cheers. Now, here on Friday He was in front of Pilate. Many of the powerful Jewish religious leaders seemed either convinced that this man, Jesus, was a heretic, or a lunatic. What they didn’t think was that He was God Almighty. With that backdrop, Pilate began to question Jesus about His identity. Are you King of the Jews? Jesus questions Pilate’s question. He is getting to the heart of Pilate’s interest. Does he really want to know the truth. It soon becomes crystal clear.

Each day we go into the world with the opportunity to make an impact. Each person whose paths cross ours matters. Lives intersect for a reason. I believe there is One who directs our steps to these sometimes seemingly random meetings. My goal for these encounters is that I make a difference. That is my desire for those who venture across my blog. I hope you are blessed and it makes a difference for you. Archives
