To Save Us
“But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.” Mark 15:5
While Jesus had been explaining who he was before, He remained silent before Pilate, not answering Pilate’s questions. Of course Pilate was not concerned about whether Jesus was King of the Jews, but instead was concerned about other charges made against Him, Jesus did not answer these trumped up charges.
Pilate believed that Jesus was innocent of the charges that was brought against Him, but couldn’t understand why Jesus didn’t defend Himself. We know, don’t we? Jesus had to go to the cross for a lost and dying world, this was the plan of salvation and it had to be done.
Jesus remained silent on purpose, He did not come to free Himself, He came to free the world, so He chose to be crucified , to die for us so that we could be freed from our sins. “ Thank you Lord Jesus for giving your life as a sacrifice for my sins.”
Have a great day and never forget how much Jesus loves you and you know I love you all.
