“Pilate said unto them, What shall I do with Jesus which is called the Christ?  Mt 27:22

The greatest question ever asked of man! Interesting question because at this time Jesus stood before Pilate to be judged, but a day came when Pilate stood before Jesus to be judged. Pilate had Jesus in his hands and on his hands.  How does this relate to us, we are all Pilate and face the same question; “what shall I do with Jesus?”  Just as Jesus stood before Pilate, He stands before you today and like Pilate you hold Jesus in your hands, but likewise a day will come when Jesus will hold you in His hands.  This is a very personal, present and pertinent question, one that no other can answer or control besides you and it will directly affect your destiny. It’s a question that cannot be avoided, it must be answered and will be answered; now to do so you have three choices, He is either a liar, lunatic or He is Lord (Jn 18:37…I assure you He is Lord) but by refusing or avoiding an answer, you just answered it!  Don’t be as foolish as Pilate thinking you have power to control or release Him (Jn 19:10); such as man’s public opinion (pride) today. Jesus answers such pride; man has no such power “except it were given thee from above.” (vs 11) 

Don’t be like Pilate lost in his pride and so conformed by public opinion that you’re more worried about living and become obstinate toward answering the question and neglect the cost; by doing so the answer will be made for you! (Adrian Rogers)
