"Pilate said to them, 'Then what
shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?'" - Matthew 27:22
There was nothing remarkable about His looks. He had attracted a large following but few committed followers. He had no wealth - not even a home of His own. Yet He was the object of an unmitigated hatred from a mob. Standing before him was an itinerant preacher. Over 2,000 years ago, a man named Pilate asked the most important question in his life. Pilate asked, "What shall I do with this man?" As the mob cried for His execution, the man, Jesus Christ, stood silently as Pilate cowardly sentenced Him to death on the cross.
The question Pilate asked is ultimately one all of us have to ask. What shall I do with this man, Jesus?

He loves you, even when you could not care less about Him. He cared enough to
pay the penalty for your sin. What will you do with Jesus? Your eternal destiny
hangs in the balance by how you respond.
Still
Hungry? Matthew 21:16
