In our text for Sunday (John 19) we find that Pilate declares the innocence of Christ three times. Pilate was trying hard to honor his conscience and be politically correct. This is nearly impossible! In his various attempts to let Jesus go he learned more about the nature of Christ's kingdom, His reign and the nature of truth. Pilate revealed by his response that for him there was only one king and one kingdom that he was concerned about and he revealed that to him "the idea of truth was a joke." Yet, his conscience, the dream of his wife and the majesty of Jesus caused him great concern. Of course we know they found no fault in Jesus because there was no fault to be found but I wonder if we believe that now. There are many people today who find fault with His teachings, His actions or the lack of His actions. However, I had breakfast with a man from our church this morning who has been through many trials including the passing of his wife and with strong faith he declares that God is good and His ways are right. He seems to be in the minority of public opinion. Pilate's assessment only had to do with Jesus' threat to the Empire. We have no credible record that Pilate's mind ever changed about the King and His Kingdom. There are many more delights about the Christ than the fact that He was no threat to the Empire! Too bad Pilate didn't take the time to find out the rest of the story. What do we mean when we say we find no fault in Him? Are we following Him like we believe He knows what He is talking about?
