The Trial Before Pilate, Part 1
from Crucifixion on SermonAudio Hosted by Jim Butler
An exposition of John 18:28–32 examining the opening exchange between the Jewish leaders and Pontius Pilate as they deliver Jesus for execution. The sermon traces the bitter irony of the chief priests refusing to enter the praetorium for fear of ceremonial defilement while simultaneously conspiring to put the innocent Son of God to death, and shows how their very actions fulfil Jesus' earlier words concerning the manner of his death. Main points: - the irony of the Jewish leaders' ceremonial scruples at the very moment of their greatest moral corruption - the significance of Roman authority and why the Jews could not execute Jesus themselves - the sovereign fulfilment of Christ's own predictions concerning the kind of death he would die Scripture references: - Numbers 9:6-14 - Psalm 2:1-2 - John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32-33; 18:1-32 - Acts 2:23; 4:27-28 - Romans 8:31-32 Free Grace Baptist Church — https://www.freegrace.ca Full transcript & sermon notes: https://sermons.freegrace.ca/sermons/sermon-john-18-the-trial-before-pilate-part-1-2 Description generated by Tyrannus.ai: https://www.tyrannus.ai
