Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Pilate was convinced that Jesus was not worthy of crucifixion, but he compromised and sent Jesus to the cross anyway, and by that choice he went from a hero to a zero in the history of Christianity.

When he first came to Jerusalem he discovered that it was about the only city in the whole Roman Empire that ...read more

Pontius Pilate And The Passion

Contributed by William Yates on Mar 15, 2004

Since the Passion has been released, critics have claimed that Mel Gibson presented too nice of a Pilate. So who was the real Pontius Pilate? This is what we examine in the text of this sermon.

But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more
