Isn't it almost humorous that Pilate said to Jesus, "Don't you realise I have power...?" If Only Pilate knew, he would have fallen on his knees in worship to the King of Kings. But instead Jesus stood there knowing the horror he would endure. He was beaten with a whip. He was punched, slapped and mocked. He had thorns rammed into his head. He had nails driven through his hands and feet. He was spat on. He was stripped in front of friends and his mom. It wasn't Pilate who had the power... and it wasn't the phariseee's or the mob. The one who had the real power was Jesus, but he chose to endure every blow... every wound... every insult for me. He did it for me!!
"IT IS FINISHED"... And he lowered His head and died. What was finished? Jesus had completed the work He had come to earth for. His purpose was to die in my place.
But the story isn't over... This had all happened on Friday... But Sunday was coming
