Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Luke 23

23 Then the whole assembly rose and led him off to Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, “We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Messiah, a king.”

3 So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

“You have said so,” Jesus replied.

4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.”

6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.

13 Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against him. 15 Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us; as you can see, he has done nothing to deserve death. 16 Therefore, I will punish him and then release him.” [17] [a]

18 But the whole crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!” 19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)

20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again. 21 But they kept shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”

22 For the third time he spoke to them: “Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him.”

23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

1 To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
2 As the eyes of servants
look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid
to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
until he has mercy upon us.

3 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than its fill
of the scorn of those who are at ease,
of the contempt of the proud.

The young woman was incensed.

"You wouldn't believe the stupid billboard I saw today! It was a huge picture of a newborn baby with the caption: 'EVIDENCE OF GOD'. Probably some anti-abortion group put that up." I squirmed in my seat. I didn't want to start a "catfight" in the restaurant while my sister was onstage performing. She's just starting to build her career as a solo artist, and I sure don't want to mess her up. But, I could NOT let this go unaddressed.

Suddenly, the words came to my lips, as if the Holy Spirit were helping me out.

"With Faith, no evidence is necessary. Without Faith, no evidence is sufficient. I happen to be a person of faith, and so, I perceive a Newborn as a Miracle. Without faith, I guess you would not be able to perceive this."

The woman sensed that I was saying she lacked something, and bristled:

"I have faith! I have faith in MYSELF!"

I looked her in the eye and said;

"We are all fallible. Therefore, your faith will fail you eventually."

Then somebody else at the table changed the subject.

There is a whole branch of Christian Study called "Apologetics". This doesn't mean "Apologizing" for our Faith, but merely arguing FOR it, providing evidence, and advocating for Truth.

It is a respectable discipline, and some of the greatest Theologians were also "Apologists". Recent Archaeological finds in the City of David and around the Temple Mount continue to "prove" that what is written in the Bible is accurate.

For years, liberal theologians insisted that Pontius Pilate was a made-up character. They couldn't find any "extra-biblical" mention of him, so they assumed he didn't exist. Then, in 1961, an inscription was discovered in Caesaria, Israel, near the amphitheater. It is called The Pilate Stone.

I have seen both the replica in place in Caesaria, and the real thing in the Israel Museum.

However, long before 1961, Christians believed that Pontius Pilate was a real person. It didn't take an Archaeological Find to prove it. And for those without Faith, the Archaeologists could find the actual Ark of the Covenant, complete with the Ten Commandments, a Pot of Manna, and Aaron's Rod still in bloom, and they STILL wouldn't believe.

In fact, based upon their current behavior, I believe that the Powers-That-Be would rebury the whole thing in a warehouse just to keep the secret safe.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

"Christ Before Pilate"
Master of Cappenberg (c. 1520)

_

the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar,

saying that he himself is Christ a King;.

And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

I will therefore chastise him, and release him. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
