First and foremost, Pilate did not want to be involved with these types of religious matters concerning the Jews. He knew this was a very troubling time and for fear that there would be a lot of unrest in his territory, he went ahead with the punishment and crucifixion of JESUS, even though, he was troubled by these decisions. In certain depictions of the story you see scenes that show Pilate wiping his hands clean of this decision to put JESUS to death. He laid this doing on the people.

Blog of David Marciniak The Jewish leaders wanted to see JESUS brought to death for they were fearful of him, his miracles and the croud stirring that was going on as a result of his ministry. Bringing him to death, would restore order in their community and as a result it would benefit their people so that further riots and danger would not be sustained. We know by JESUS' death that we will be forever saved from our sins as long as we believe in the son of man and accept him as our Saviour. We've been blessed with life here on earth, but we know through our belief in JESUS and the FATHER that life doesn't end with our physical death. Accepting JESUS as our LORD and saviour will certainly be a good start as a way to receive eternal life. |
