He's Alive

" Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out saying."Crucify Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said you take Him, for I find no fault in Him." {John 19:6}  Now if Pilate find no fault in Jesus, Why would He allow Him to be crucified? Maybe, He was trying to pleased the people; the chief priests and other officers. The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. {John 19:8} Now all believers of Christ know that they were spiritual blind.; they truly did not know Jesus. He came to them and they did not received Him. Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid. And he went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer." {John 19:9} The prophecy was being fulfilled, that when Jesus was crucified, He didn't say a mumbling word. Then Pilate said to Him,"Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have the power to crucify You, and power to release You. {John 19:10} Pilate thought He had power but he didn't know Jesus. if He had known He would not allow Him to be crucified. And in John 19:11; Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one that deliver Me to you has the greatest sin. It tells you further along in this chapter that Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out to Pilate. If you release Him you are not a friend to Caesar. I am glad Jesus died that I may live eternally and the greatest outcome is that He didn't stay dead. Jesus conquered death when He arose with all power in heaven and earth in His hands.
