Pilate’s Words on Jesus’ Cross

   Those (Pilate – the governor  and Caiaphas - the high priest) who concurred with the condemnation  of Jesus were people with authority and power to influence others. Unfortunately their own interest and personal plans prevailed people’s interest to have Jesus as King, and God’s plan to bring back His own people into righteousness’ obedience.

     The roman governor added on Jesus cross words which revealed his own understanding and his own belief about the One he sentenced to death. If you were in Pilate’s shoes what would you do or state about Jesus or about someone who walks in righteousness and does God’s will, as Jesus did?

When God sent Jesus on the cross He did send a message to everyone   

   -   “For God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish , but have eternal life.”   (John 3:16)

   -    “Behold the Lamb of God who take away the sin of the world!”     (John 1:29)

Although Pilate grasped priests’ wicked plan and although he figured out that Jesus was innocent he used his authority and position to fulfill the wishes of wicked ones. When Pilate sent Jesus to Golgotha he did send a message to the world that the injustice of the wicked just took place.

 “Give someone power and soon he/she will reveal his/her true character… and if his character is not clear. Look at his/her friends.”         (Unknown author)

       To experience God’s incarnated loving Word hanged at Golgotha, people need to  believe and to accept God’s words expressed by Pilate on Golgotha’s cross.

      Not Golgotha was crated for Christ’ cross, neither the cross was made for Golgotha, but Jesus use them to fulfill God’s will of saving the world and to express His unlimited love.  So, it’s not about me, nor about you but about Jesus Who brought us together at the feet of Golgotha’s cross to receive God’s salvation and to enjoy God’s love. If you don’t know where is Golgotha, don’t worry. It’s not an issue if you can’t see the cross.

COME TO JESUS; then Golgotha and the cross will be “useful” for you, too.

Golgotha’s Cross

When we talk about the cross we relate to the truth of God and how His Son was treated by the world for which He came to save it.

The Cross:

It’s Christ’ trade mark and of His believers.

It’s the “vacuum” of everyone’s sin and the heavenly river of life set on earth.

It’s the preferable place of sinners who wants to be forgiven and from  where the christian journey starts.

It’s Christ way to conquer the world, to defeat sin and to call those who want to follow Him.

It’s not an object to be worshiped but a lifestyle of true believers.

If true or false believers are recognized by their fruits, then those who live for Christ are recognized by hanging and giving up their lives on Christ’ cross.  

First, Christ’ cross brings sacrifice, then the manifestation of His glory. (Probably that’s why in our days we don’t see  so much of Christ glory.)

When we refer to Christ’ cross we also have to consider Golgotha.

Golgotha:

It’s the paramount  of sin “gathered” on Earth and the most sacred place on this planet. refer

It’s the place from where people can get (for free) one way ticket to heaven.

It’s the place where someone saved looked the first time for Jesus, in His eyes.

It’s the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus, started the river of tears which continue to flow through everyone who gets salvation and comfort.

It’s the place where people experience deliverance from pain and sorrows enjoying heavenly peace and happiness.   

It’s the place where you can find Jesus hanged for you; where people walk on their knees in humbleness and exaltation, and where the cross walk started first towards all the corners of the Earth.

It’s where God’s salvation is at work everyday & night; the cross is not present phisicaly but its power is still fully active.

COME to GOLGOTHA to find rest for your soul at the shadow of Christ’s Cross and of God’s love by receiving forgiveness of your sins, eternal life and divine joyful’ peace.
