Message: “SERVICE – Bearing Witness to the Truth” from Zach Schlegel

John 18:28-19:16

Introduction

Would the people around you describe you as one who is easily offended? Would you describe yourself that way? When offended we begin to sulk, become defensive, and get angry. Maybe you just hold it all inside and replay the offense over and over all day. Taking offense can be destructive in our life. It makes us more unyielding, inflexible, and stubborn. We become hard-hearted, and we don’t listen to loving friends. (Proverbs 18:19)

In this text, Pilate knows that Jesus is innocent, but he stumbles over “the rock of offense” of Jesus. (Romans 9:32-33)Pilate is a mirror we can use to examine our own hearts. We can use it to see who Jesus really is and then love and trust Him.
