Description
Picture illustrated for Scripture Union's Big Bible Challenge book, illustrated collaboratively by Daryl Peninton and myself.This picture is an interpretation of when Jesus was brought before the Roman Pilate. Pilate quickly realised that Jesus was innocent but shirked his responsibility by giving in to the evil demands of the high priests and the mob that they incensed into demanding that Jesus be crucified.
And yet the Bible states that Jesus was God's son who deliberately came to earth to be born as a human so that he could be killed in order to pay the debt for all of humanities' sins, so that through his sacrifice our sins are forgiven.
Pilate stuffed up, and yet it had to be so, so that Jesus would die for our sins. It's strange to think about.
Have a contemplative and rejoicing Easter, everyone. Thanks to Christ, we can spend eternity in Paradise.

Pilate probably didn't feel like he had much of a choice. The Pharisees knew about how little leeway Rome was going to be giving to a Governor who was already on notice not to screw things up. In fact, I'm not sure how long he keeps his position after everything that was going on during that time, but unless I'm mistaken he committed suicide later that same... Decade? I actually wanna say two to three years later, but am unsure of sources.
I do know that he doesn't keep his position long after. Though he does get a, "reassigned to Alaska" treatment.
Anyway, the priests threatening to report him to Rome about not doing his job, was basically Pilate losing control of his subjects.

Though I've read the scripture, I wonder if Pilate was trying to turn Jesus into an asset to use against the priests who were probably a road block to him in a number of ways.Β It would make sense that Jesus could have realized that Pilate was trying to turn him into his agent, as the Roman governor was doing things like having him scourged and humiliated to try to save him.Β But I think Jesus refused to go along with his idea to fulfill the wishes of The Father.Β Finally when the religious authorities and their mob starting accusing Pilate of trying to set up Jesus as a King, he gave in.

Great piece of artwork there! Everything looks so clear and pristine!
Yeah, Pilate sure dropped a goolie on that one... even though it had to be, he still had the power to stop it... but instead he washed his hands of the whole thing.
Though on the other hand, I do wonder what became of Pilate in the years to come... I understand he was deposed before or during the Jewish rebellion, but after that...? I wonder if he ever came to realise what is truth...

Yeah I hope he found truth, repentance and peace. I guess I hope that for everyone in the world!

That has always made me wonder, would Pilate be in Heaven now or not?
I mean, he did order Jesus to be crucified, but didn't want to.
