The Penalty - Easter - 8:30 A.M.

Who do you say that Jesus is?

Every person in the Easter story has a different interaction with Jesus.  You are either indifferent to Him, threatened by Him, or you realize that He is King.  

Pilate thought he was in control of the situation surrounding Jesus.  To pacify the crowd he handed Jesus over to be crucified.  But, control was an illusion.  Jesus went to the cross on His own; He didn’t need the people shouting, “Crucify him!” 

It is incomprehensible that a King would die for His servants.  Yet, that is exactly what Jesus did.

The Penalty – Matthew 26:1-5; 27:11-26; 25:31-40
