"What shall I do with Jesus?" (one more Holy Week thought....)

This was the question Pilate asked of the angry mob. Pilate didn't want to sentence Jesus to death. But he didn't want to stand up to the mob either. He was a coward. First he tried to pacify the crowd by having Jesus scourged. When Jesus was returned to Pilate, He was almost recognizable because He had been beaten so badly. Pilate called out to the people, "Look at the Man!" And the mob shouted, "Crucify Him!" They threatened Pilate that if He didn't sentence Jesus to death that they would report him to Caesar saying Pilate was serving another "king."

Pilate like his life as governor too much. He liked the lime-light. He liked the money and prestige. So, he asked the crowd, "What shall I do with Jesus?" and he turned and washed his hands in a basin of water proclaiming that he would be innocent of Jesus' death."

Today, two thousand years later, many people are still asking, "What shall I do with Jesus?"

So, what will YOU do with Jesus?
