What shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?

Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?"
Matt 27:22

As we prepare to wrap up our study of Matthew (only three Sundays left!), we come to the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate. By the morning of the Day that Jesus was crucified, Jesus had already been before three trials, if you can all them trials.  Perhaps “mock trials” would be a better description, since the outcome had already been determined by the religious leaders.  No matter what, Jesus was going to be found guilty.

Jesus trial before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Procurator of Judea, contains many interesting aspects which we will explore on Sunday.  But one statement stands out, when Pilate asks the Jewish crowd "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?"  

I do not believe that it was just a question, asked by a Roman, to the Jews.  To me this question was initiated in the mind of this Roman by the Living God, a question that was recorded for all of history by Matthew, a question that rings out to all mankind, throughout the ages:  What shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?

It is a question that every human being must answer.  What is your answer?

Join us Sunday, for “From Gethsemane to Calvary Part 3 - The Trial of Jesus”
