—John 19:1-11

Pilate knew Jesus was innocent. He thought he could help Jesus if he only gave in a little bit to what the people wanted. How often do we give in to people in an attempt to “help Jesus out”? Do we try keep Jesus relevant today by watering down His message to sound less “offensive”? We may feel we are helping, but instead we are creating a new version of God and undermining His authority. These priests believed in God but refused to acknowledge the authority of Jesus, who was one with God. Accepting the Bible in its entirety is crucial to our witness. Our authority is Christ-given, not self-made.
