Matthew 27:11 - 31

The crewd was calling out for Jesus to be crucified.

Jesus as a threat to the Jewish elite.

We should not be a part of the crowd.

John 11:45 - 50

The Romans usually ruled lightly.
The Temple priests, Pharisees and Saducees were comfortable. They didn't want a Messiah.

Matthew 26:63 - 65
Daniel 7:9 - 14
Jesus was saying that He was whom Daniel was talking about.
He was there for us.
He was saying that He is Divine.

John 18:29 - 32
Luke 23:1, 2
They were accusing Jesus of rebellion (which the Romans did come down hard on).
He was not guilty.

Pilate went out of the way to avoid the crucifixion. But he rubbers stamped it anyway.

The crowd
Over a million people were in Jerusalem for the Passover.
But it was just after dawn, so hardly anyone was up.
The religious leaders had organised the crowd.

How do we not drift away or misunderstand what was going on?
We have to be willing to have Jesus disturb us, and the Holy Spirit in us.
