John 18:28-38
Jesus has been tried by four different rulers: Annas, Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate. What they don’t realize is they have been tried and found wanting. Each of their actions condemns them on the day of judgment. Christ is the King from the kingdom of heaven. And that kingdom has infiltrated the world and is spreading. Christ is now the multi-dimensional King over all, whether they recognize it or not. And what is striking is that those whom He has pardoned and saved are not any better than Annas, Caiaphas, or Pilate. And this is the truth we need to carry out into the world: this King pardons sinners based on His bearing of their punishments.
