Every day, we have to choose between Jesus and ourselves. And this was the decision that Pilate had to make in John 19. Because he knew that Jesus was an innocent man who didn’t deserve to die. But he also knew that if he let Jesus go free, then people would hate him and he’d probably lose his job. And in today’s Bible study, we’ll see the conflict in Pilate’s heart along with the decisions that he makes. And then at the end, I’ll give you 5 practical takeaways from this story.

We’ll see what happened and how Jesus’ prophecies came true, and then at the end, I’ll give you 5 practical takeaways from this story.

If you’re a Muslim, then how do you explain this? Today, I’m going to show you why it’s impossible for Islam to be a true religion. And it’s not just because I’m a Christian, and Muslims have different beliefs. It’s because the Quran contradicts itself in a way that no Muslim can possibly defend. This video is about the Islamic Dilemma.

In John 16, Jesus told the disciples about His departure. Not just the 3 days He’d be gone after His crucifixion, but His departure in ascending back to Heaven after the resurrection.

So in today’s Bible study, we’ll see three key details about the departure of Jesus, and then at the end, I’ll give you five practical takeaways from this chapter.
