Our text is [esvignore]John 19:1-16[/esvignore]. In the last minutes before Christ’s crucifixion, John leads us through the dialogue between Jesus, Pilate and the Jewish leaders. Here we see most graphically the contrast between Kingdoms. Jesus’ immense love while suffering affliction is displayed against a people-pleasing, unjust magistrate and the militant hatred of the Jewish leaders. This sermon examines all three. Our public reading for this Sunday was [esvignore]Isaiah 53[/esvignore], we also visited [esvignore]Proverbs 1:24-33[/esvignore].
