Theme: God uses evil, even gross injustice, for His glory and the good of His people. In vv. 1-2 we read of the Roman trial beginning and the Jewish prosecution's claims. In vv. 4-5, Pilate rules, and the Jews protest. As we reflect on this trial of Jesus, there are some attributes of Pilate as well as the Jews that led them to act as they did, and we should search our own hearts and beware of these same temptations. Reflections: 1. Be careful not to give over Jesus for idols. 2. Be aware of inconsistencies in our lives. 3. Beware of pragmatism. 4. Trust the Lord, for this world is not all there is. While we can learn some things from the Sanhedrin and Pilate, let us not lose sight of the bigger picture. That our Sovereign God, Who does all that He pleases, is working all this our for our good and ultimately for His glory. In the absolute worst injustice that has ever happened, God was on the throne. God was in control. God was working it for His glory and for our good.
