Jesus’ Trial before Pilate
37 Pilate said, “So you are a king?”
Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
38 “What is truth?” Pilate asked. Then he went out again to the people and told them, “He is not guilty of any crime. 39 But you have a custom of asking me to release one prisoner each year at Passover. Would you like me to release this ‘King of the Jews’?”
40 But they shouted back, “No! Not this man. We want Barabbas!” (Barabbas was a revolutionary.)
The truth is Jesus was not just a king. He is The King.
To borrow from ‘The Glorious Appearing’ – (LaHaye & Jenkins): My Bible says He is a king … He’s a seven-way king.
- He's the king of the Jews; … that’s a racial king.
- He’s the king of Israel; … that’s a national king.
- He’s the king of righteousness.
- He’s the king of the ages.
- He’s the king of heaven.
- He’s the king of glory.
- He’s the king of kings.
Besides being a seven-way king, He’s the Lord of lords … That’s my king.
Pilate was seeking the truth. He wanted to know who Jesus really was. Do you know Him? Is He your King?
