WORD OF GOD - MK 15:12-15

MARK 15:12-15

Pilate spoke to them again, ‘Then what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?’ They shouted back, ‘Crucify him!’ Pilate asked them, ‘Why, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more, ‘Crucify him!’ So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

---- mine,

The scene before Pilate recurs constantly - the innocent are hauled before corrupt rulers and judges and are handed over to be flogged, imprisoned, tortured, and even put to death. The vast majority of people in the world are blind and ignorant and are readily carried along like flotsam and jetsam on the tide of popular opinion. They are oblivious that they are being manipulated by evil men and women with evil agendas who are prepared to sell their immortal souls to the devil in order to hold on to their earthly citadels of power, glory, fame, and wealth. All things pass away, God alone remains unchanging, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever and before this God, all will stand on judgment day. Shine the Light of Truth in an increasingly darkening world so many may come to believe in Me and be saved.
