John 19:1-15; 1 Chronicles 11-12. Pilate was weak in many ways, for he allowed Jesus to be crucified in spite of His innocence. In other ways he was shrewd, for he manipulated the Israelites to profess loyalty to Caesar. In between, he had Jesus brutally flogged in an attempt to pacify the crowd. They also made a crown of thorns and drove the nail-like needles into Jesus' brow. Thorns were the result of the cruse. Jesus was going to be crucified which carried a special curse under the Mosaic Law. Jesus was ridiculed, abused, and mistreated, but endured it all for our salvation. We are to remember His faithfulness and love when tempted to lash out at others or hold grudges. Always remember that Jesus prayed for the salvation of those who abused Him.

John 18:12-40; 1 Chronicles 9-10. The trials of Jesus violated several of the Jewish and Roman rules. Yet, Jesus patiently endured them and even used them as a teaching opportunity. While Jesus faithfully endured, Peter denied his association with Jesus. Jesus willingly entered into the process that would atone for Peter's sin and provide a pathway to restoration. The kingdom of God was not ushered in through weapons or the might of an army, but by our Creator, taking on frail flesh, and submitting to the Father and human institutions to accomplish our deliverance from the penalty and power of sin and temptation.

John 18:1-11; 1 Chronicles 7-8. Jesus went where Judas expected Him to be. He went to the garden that He often visited with His disciples. This easily overlooked phrase is a reminder that no one took Jesus' life from Him but He willingly laid down His life for our redemption. His power is so great that the crowd fell back when He identified Himself, yet He allowed Himself to be bound and led away. He stopped His one defender for He came to the world to save the lost by the shedding of His blood. He went to the cross because He was and is the Good Shepherd.

John 17; 1 Chronicles 6. Typically, when we think of the Lord's Prayer, we think of the model for prayer from the Sermon on the Mount. However, this is the prayer of Jesus for His disciples and those who would follow them; the church. He prayed that the church would be steadfast in the face of persecution, that the church would be joyful, pure, and united in love. The ultimate aim is that the church would be effective in outreach by modeling godliness and bold proclamation of the gospel. As we go through the day, we must be mindful of our testimony and alert to the opportunities God gives.

We just touched down in San Francisco. We’re tired but very grateful to be a part of a such a great ministry. This was a great team that helped with labor projects and dynamic ministry. Praying for quality rest tonight because duty calls tomorrow.

We made it to Miami, cleared customs, and are waiting at our gate for the final flight. I can’t get a good WiFi connection on my laptop, so I cannot do a Bible reading post.
