A pathetic attempt
– Verse 19
A startling admission … that increases fear
– Verse 15
– Verse 8
Who has real power?
– Verse 10 – “Answer me do you not realise I have power … power to release you and power to condemn you!”
– Verse 11 – “you would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above”.
What you do with Jesus matters
“Therefore he who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin”.
It is finished
– Gen 3:15 God’s promise
Jesus has real power
– Verse 28-37
… divided his clothes by lot – Psalm 22:18
… Zechariah 12:10 … the one they have pierced
… Ex 12:46 … bones not be broken.
