“Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed” (Matthew 27:13-14).
How does one answer the insanity of this world which wants to deny Jesus no matter what? Sometimes the only way is to remain silent. The world does not want to believe the truth. But what about you? Will you come into truth and live a life that has been redeemed? Will you follow the One who laid down His life so that You may take up that life and live eternally with the One who made you?
Lord, the mystery of this is great. You have done all of this for the sake of those who will believe in You. So great is Your love that You were willing to pay a price that none of us can truly comprehend. Guide the faithful so that we walk with You, our Savior and Redeemer. Let us not stand back in amazement but bow humbly in love and learn to be thankful for what You have done.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for bearing the brunt of the anger and hatred of this wicked world for my sake. In great love You have persevered through death into life. Lead me so that I may humbly follow where You lead. Guide me so that I may walk in the way of life that is pleasing to the Father. Help me to be thankful and rejoice that You have made Yourself known to me, my Lord and God. In the privilege You have given me, teach me Your ways. Amen.
