Response to Jesus
Jesus had been brought to Pilate for the sentence of death”¦for the Jewish leaders did not have the authority to sentence anyone to death”¦
(NASB) John 18:33-34 “Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “˜Are You the King of the Jews?”™
34 Jesus answered, “˜Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”™”
Considering Jesus response for yourself”¦from where do you get your understanding of Who Jesus is? Do you have a desire to know for yourself? Has someone told you about Jesus? And how have you responded?
Who do you believe Jesus to be? Here are a few adjectives (from many) which describe Jesus: Savior; Son of God; Son of Man; Intercessor; the coming King”¦
Pilate”™s response to Jesus was focused on the “˜here and now”™, not on spiritual matters nor eternity.
To know Jesus we must read/study the Holy Bible for ourselves.
To know Jesus we need Him to be our Savior”¦for that is what God”™s word tells us.
To know Jesus is to listen to other believers and compare what they say to what the Bible tells us.
