Sermon: Pontius Pilate | John 19:1-16 | Jesus Delivered to Be Crucified

🕊️ “Behold Your King!” — John 19:1–16 | Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, WI
Pontius Pilate stands at the center of one of the most profound moments in human history—confronted with the Truth incarnate, yet choosing compromise over conviction. What can we learn from his encounter with Christ?

Join us at Trinity Lutheran as we reflect on John 19:1–16, where Pilate, the Roman governor, becomes a reluctant and conflicted participant in the Passion of our Lord. Though he finds no guilt in Jesus, fear and politics prevail. What does Pilate's wavering reveal about the nature of justice, truth, and our own hearts today?

🔑 Key Takeaways

The weakness of earthly authority in the face of eternal truth
How compromise and fear can lead to grave injustice
Christ's silent strength and divine sovereignty through it all

📖 “He delivered Him over to them to be crucified.” (John 19:16)
Christ’s path to the cross was marked by human failure—but God's plan for our redemption was never out of His hands.
