My Kingdom Would Fight–How?

?Are you the King of the Jews?? asked Pilate (John 18:33). He was in the Praetorium and full of his own
authority while this bloodied Jew unsteadily stood there. Jesus asked if this
was an original idea or if he heard others talking about Him (John 18:34). Now Pilate dares Jesus to take a stand
against or with His people: ?Your own nation and the chief priests gave you
up?what have you done??

Why was the King of the Jews standing there, bloodied and defenseless? And
how would He answer? Would He shower theological fire to prove the man?s
futility? Would He summon a legion of fighting angels? And if we are His
servants, what does this tell us about the way we are to defend Christ in this
world?

Clinging to the Cross of Christ

Fine, a lot of Christians don?t believe Christ died on Friday. Even more Christians think that there shouldn?t be a special day marked out for remembering the Lord?everyday should be saturated with thanks giving and praise for what He has done.

Don?t get me wrong?pointing out the World?s hypocrisy in this case is well and good?but this is a time of year where Christians should be waving the banner of the Crucified and now risen Christ. Here then are several links which point to Christ for introspection, reflection and encouragement.

Jesus On The Cross

On a hill outside of Jerusalem they crucified Him. Not satisfied with His death, some one even complain about the words on Jesus’ cross “This is Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews”. Others would stand by sneering that “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.” (Luke 23:35). The soldiers would mock Him. Even the criminals on the crosses next to Him would taunt Him. But the Lord didn’t respond to the taunts of men.

Mars Attacks the Archive

I don’t know who launched the attack, but it doesn’t look like the Archive will stand a chance against the invading Martian forces! You can also check out the dinosaur and the nukes. So cool.

The Lord Broke the Bread

Last week, we listened in on some of the Lord’s upper room teaching. We witnessed His hands washing the disciples feet then dipping into the sop and offering Judas another chance to turn from what He planned. I want to look back into that same evening and see those hands breaking bread.
