as the sun rose over Jerusalem – v4


as the sun rose over Jerusalem
Christ was led from his cell
where He had been held
brought before Pilate
to the seat of Roman power

Jesus had been condemned
by the priests, by the leaders
the Council, the Sanhedrin;
but not yet a Roman crime
punishable by death.

Christ was charged
with insurrection, rebellion,
claiming He was a King
a threat to Rome, to Caesar,
that was their charge

The priests, the Sanhedrin,
the leaders of the people
bringing Jesus to Pilate -
the Lamb prepared for slaughter
by defiled pagan hands.

punishable by death.

Two Sons – v4

Their names are important
nothing is by chance
rich meaning
in these words

Both of them are
“sons of the father”
their names parallel
but such different paths

Jesus Barabbas
The revolutionary
insurrectionist, zealot,
trying to overthrow Rome

Jesus of Nazareth
The preacher
Messiah, the Son,
bringing love instead

Both standing before Pilate
the seat of power
the judgment of man
Jerusalem in fire that day

Barabbas to be freed
love going to the cross
to die for all our sin
to heal the breach within

Appeasing the Crowd – v2

Appeasing the crowd,
giving red meat to the mob;
Returning the criminal and
sending the innocent to death.

Returning evil for evil,
washing his hands of the blood;
Going along to get along
sending the Lamb to the cross.

wrong

Pilate knew
killing Jesus
was wrong.
Pilate chose
to kill Jesus
even though
it was wrong.
Pilate listened
to the crowd’s shouts
to crucify, to kill,
the Son of the living God.

Pilate knew their motives

Pilate knew their motives
their steps transparent
wanting to hold onto power
to see Christ as innocent
of any crime

Pilate knew their motives
their insecurity self-evident
fear drove their hatred
their false accusations
seeking to kill, to silence Christ.

they bound Jesus – 3 – v2

They bound Jesus
they chained the Messiah;
God’s chosen people
turned over the Christ.

They gave God to the pagans;
these descendants of Aaron;
The priests, the Levites,
they were the ones
who judged God.
