In Jesus’ trial, we see unity in evil (Luke 23:12). Politically, Pilate
and Herod were at odds with each other. Spiritually, they were united in
their opposition to Christ. Jesus was found guilty by neither Pilate
nor Herod (Luke 23:13-16). They were Very Important People. Jesus was a
threat to them. They held positions of great power. They could not allow
Jesus to ‘upset the apple cart’. Three times, Pilate declared Jesus’
innocence (Luke 23:4, 14, 22). ‘Public opinion’said, ‘Crucify Him!’(Luke
23:21). Pilate had a problem. He would be ‘crucifying’ himself -
politically - if he ignored public opinion. Pilate made his choice.
Jesus had to go. Jesus went - but He came back again! There is real
human drama here, but there is much more than that: There is God!
Crucified by men, Raised by God (Acts 2:23-24): This is divine drama,
the drama of redemption!
