Rev. Dr. Jack Whytock brings the Word to us this morning. We focus our attention on the trial of Jesus before the gentiles. We see how Pilate, both declares the innocence of Jesus before succumbing to the pressures of the Jews, and how Pilate himself was on trial before Jesus. Dr. Whytock also stresses the need for a personal application of the death and resurrection of the Jesus. Drawing from Luther's catechism, where he adds to the famous Apostle's and Nicene creeds, "suffered under Pontius Pilate, died, buried, and resurrected, for me".
