makers of the death of Jesus
Far from producing the desired result by the religious authorities of the nation, the passage of Jesus from Pilate and Herod did nothing but highlight the false motives of these in the trial that He is doing. Jesus said to Pilate and Herod concert is totally innocent of the things he is accused. It is found in Him nothing worthy of any sentence, much less a death sentence. So, are found guilty, not the accused but the accusers.
If need one in history, the conviction that ultimately will bail Jesus is the epitome of character so easily corruptible human justice. All items are gathered here for Jesus to be acquitted. The judge, the ultimate decision maker is convinced of his innocence. He said and attested by at least three times: the file to load is empty. He found nothing to hold against Jesus. According to justice, there is an option to enter the folder Jesus: a non-suit and his unconditional release. Under the pressure of numbers, and because of the obvious political interest in it derives from the meaning intended by the Jewish authorities and Pilate, against his inner conviction, decide against Jesus. The rest of the story unfortunately show that the decision will not benefit anyone. A generation later, the authority of Rome, forced under pressure to condemn Jewish Jesus, take Jerusalem in the blood and deport its inhabitants. The political power compelled by religion will eventually turn against him, as will be elsewhere and in France during the Revolution, together after the king and the clergy have organized the massacre of St. Bartholomew. The bonds of alliance between the enemies of Jesus, unlike those who forge relationship His friends do not stand the test of time.
The Roman custom wishing that every Passover the governor released a prisoner, he asked the crowd: Mat 27.15 include how to finally gain the Jewish authorities plead the condemnation of Jesus. "You denied the Holy, the Just, Peter will tell them later, and you asked that you be given the grace of a Murderer: Proceedings 3.14 " Barabbas (which means son of the father). Behind the reprehensible nature of the fact is revealed to us the beauty of the incomprehensible grace of God. Because, at the bottom of ourselves, we are all Barabbas, son of the Father fallen, the nature of the killer par excellence, the devil Jean 8.44. And we all have within our grasp the possibility of our acquittal face the justice of God and of our release for one reason: the death of the One Father's Son, Jesus, for us! It is on the dark background of the worst crimes that shines in his finest bursts, the jewel of the grace of God, the highest expression of His love for us!
