On Trial
A man stood trial, his life hanging in the balances. The judge couldn’t find evidence supporting the claims waged against him and wanted to dismiss the case, but he cracked under political pressure. An innocent man died.
2,000 years after his death, Jesus still stands trial. If you cared, you wouldn’t allow me to suffer, I protest, asking the Lord of the Universe to defend his stance on my current circumstances. In other courtrooms, the claims aired are “if you really loved me, you would _______ (give me a better job, make me more beautiful, or cure me of cancer). If you really are in control of the world, then why did you let innocent children die in a natural disaster?”
Will we, like Pilate, “find no basis for a charge against this man” (Luke 23:4), yet make a final ruling to dismiss him from our lives? Our will we allow the doubts and questions to draw us into an honest conversation with God and discover that we just might find the very thing we’ve been looking for?
