Jesus spends His last hours on earth with a couple of shady characters. They are so bad, the worst punishment in the history of mankind is described as a just punishment.

One of them, after repentance, hears the sweetest words ever spoken on a cross: "Today, you will be with me in paradise".

You can hear these words too if you do as he does.

We say that Jesus died "on Calvary" but it is not a word that is in our English Bibles. Why is that? The term is ominous and terrifying, particularly if you knew that was your next stop.

We cannot throw too many stones at Pilate as he judges Jesus. How he judges Jesus, is how he will be judged. Similarly, How WE JUDGE JESUS is how we will be judged.

What we do with Jesus, is ultimately how we are judged.

Join me for 6.5 minutes to see that Pilate sits on his own judgement seat. Don’t we all?

God gives people the opportunity to SELECT Him or not

WHEN they DO: this gives Him glory that a created being, created in His image finally recognizes His image

When they don’t: this gives Him glory for creating humans with choice, even if it is not for Him.

Watch in real time as Pilate fearfully struggles with the temporary power that has been given to him. Subscribe, like , and share please:

Wouldn't it be cool if there was an EARLY WARNING system for sin? Wouldn't it be a mercy to get a notification that you are sinning in real time, or even better, that you are about to sin? Pilate gets this chance during the trials of Jesus.

Unfortunately, Pilate comes up short in his listening. For us, when we get that early warning, let's quickly take heed.

Mocking is debasing a person by parody.

Today the Romans will tell the King of Kings that He is not their king. They tell the king of the world that He is not the king of THEIR world.

They Mock Jesus as King to make a cruel point: You are not a king and You are not OUR king.

They will act like He is a king to show that He is NOT a king.

The content of this podcast has already got me kicked off the internet. It is so violent and unpalatable that the censors should and did "red flag" the publisher. The suffering is so bad, that even reviewing it verbally is offensive.

Hopefully, the suffering of Jesus will strike you deeply. He suffers maximally so we know that our maximal sins can be paid for. I give you the scourging of Jesus.

Watch 7 minutes to see a man fail to prevail in his wrestlings with God. He has every opportunity. Others, who had similar opportunities, come to faith. But not him. It is Pilate and he fails to prevail in his wrestlings with Jesus Himself.

Why watch? So that you, when presented with a similar chance, do not fail to prevail.
