When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of GOD. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto Him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against Me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered Me unto thee hath the greater sIn. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release Him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. (Joh 19:6-12)
This world cannot bring any thing against our Lord or against His servants unless the Father allows it. Jesus faced a powerless empty accuser of this world that had no power over Him except it come from the Father. He faced it because His purpose was the Cross, though He Himself was not guilty, for He took our place willingly and humbly in obedience to death, even the death of the Cross and all part of GOD's perfect plan to redeem those who put their trust in Him.
Those that reject Him, whether passively in their indifference and apathy, or actively in rebellion and hatred, are all at war with GOD, a friend of the ceasars of this world and only looking for an earthly king. Since we are all born in sIn, and in need of Salvation, only this sinless blood of Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, can redeem us from the curse of sIn and death. Those who put their faith and trust in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary are made new, born again into the family of GOD, and reconciled with our Holy GOD, because of our repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son and the Word made flesh who put to death the flesh for our sIn.
That is the message of hope that we who know GOD through faith in Jesus Christ, and the indwelling Spirit of GOD which we have from GOD, are to go and tell. We have the Truth and we know that those without are men most miserable and without hope in this world. We are called as His disciples to obey His Word, we are commanded as His servants to love one another, we are commissioned as His servants to proclaim His love and the Gospel to every creature. Not telling those who need to hear the Good News, regardless of our excuses, is sIn, and their blood will be on our hands, for only Jesus Christ is the way of Salvation, and all who are lost in this sinful and dying world need life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
