SIX CO-CONSPIRATORS IN THE DEATH OF JESUS (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Who Killed Jesus Christ?
a) The death of Jesus Christ involved six co-conspirators, each doing their part to push the process along. Their motives ranged from greed to hatred to duty. They were Judas Iscariot, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, Pontius Pilate, Herod Antipas, and an unnamed Roman centurion.
b) Hundreds of years earlier, the Old Testament prophets had said the Messiah would be led like a sacrificial lamb to slaughter. It was the only way the world could be saved from sin. Learn the role each co-conspirator played in the most important trial in history and how each step contributed to the death of Jesus.
2. PONTIUS PILATE - Roman Governor of Judea
a) Pontius Pilate held the power of life and death in ancient Israel. When Jesus was sent to him for trial, Pilate found no reason to execute him. Instead, he had Jesus brutally flogged then sent him to Herod, who sent him back. Still, the Sanhedrin and Pharisees were not satisfied. They demanded that Jesus be crucified, a torturous death reserved for only the most violent criminals. Always the politician, Pilate symbolically washed his hands of the matter and turned Jesus over to one of his centurions.
