John records some of the most memorable encounters between Jesus and individuals. One of the last is Jesus' trial before Pilate in John 18-19. Did you notice the geography of that episode? Pilate is constantly in motion, going outside to confer with the Jerusalem leaders and then back inside to interrogate Jesus. He is literally going back and forth over the question of what to do with this man who was sent from the Father.
If we have have overheard Jesus' dealings with Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, the crippled man at the pool, the man born blind, and all the rest and still find ourselves going back and forth about Jesus and his claims, then Pilate is our brother.
How much more will it take for us to own Jesus as our King?
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
