In this episode ofReformed Devotionals Daily, we step intoJohn 18:28-32, where Jesus is handed over toPontius Pilate by the religious leaders. Their hypocrisy is on full display—they refuse to enter Pilate’s headquarters to avoid ritual impurity, yet they are eager to secure the execution of an innocent man.

Pilate, hesitant to get involved, tries to pass responsibility back to the Jews, but they insist:“It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” Unknowingly, they are fulfilling exactly what Jesus had prophesied—He would die not by stoning, but by being“lifted up” on a Roman cross.

Join us as we explore:

🔹How religious hypocrisy can blind us to true righteousness
🔹Pilate’s avoidance of responsibility—and how we sometimes do the same
🔹The sovereign plan of God unfolding even through human sin

The cross was no accident. Even in the midst of political maneuvering and religious corruption,God’s redemptive purpose was never in doubt.
