"Says you," Mark 15:2.
So answered Jesus - to Pilate's question: Are you king of the Jews? So, yeah. Gentile Roman Pilate kept referring to him as king of the Jews. This infuriated envious chief priests. They stirred up the ignorant crowds. That's what many religious leaders do when they perceive power to shift away from them. They know God has no power to right things, so they obligate themselves (selflessly, of course) to get accursed crowds back in control. I mean, somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to step up to the plate in defense of God when God can't do it for himself, right?
We meet with a brother or sister today trusting in Christ to bring victory. And together we thank God his plan will ever move securely through space and time, and eternity's beyond.
