Holy Week 2026 | Thursday: Pilate's Choice

Scripture: Matthew 27:11–31 | ~9 minJesus stands silent before the most powerful man in the region — and somehow, Jesus is the one in control. Pilate knows he's innocent. His own wife warns him in a dream. And yet he washes his hands of the whole thing and hands Jesus over to be crucified.Then there's Barabbas. A violent outlaw. A guilty man who walks free because an innocent man took his place.Sound familiar?In this episode:Why Pilate's indifference may be just as dangerous as the religious leaders' maliceThe soldiers' mock coronation — and why they had no idea how right they wereThe Barabbas exchange as the entire gospel in miniatureWhat it means to live as someone who's been made newReflection: Pilate knew the truth and stayed silent.
