Our Savior Always Accomplishes His Purpose — Even Through Unbelievers Who Oppose Each Other!
We can trust a Christ who superintends His own death!
He leverages opposing forces to accomplish His purpose (28-31) The Jewish maneuver The Jews stay up all night to try Jesus themselves (28a) The Jews transfer Jesus to Pilate at daybreak (28b) The Jews force Pilate to come out to them (29a) The Gentile maneuver Pilate challenges the Jewish accusers to judge Jesus themselves (29b-30) The Jews deny their authority for capital punishment (31) He always fulfills His Word (32) The transfer of authority to the Gentiles means crucifixion (32) Crucifixion means atonement (32) Crucifixion means “being lifted up” (Jn 8:28; 12:32) Applications: Unbelievers: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved! Believers: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved!
