Sunday Morning | February 25, 2024 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY

In Pastor John's sermon on February 25, 2024, he delved into John 18:38b-19:16a, focusing on the wrongful accusations against Jesus. Drawing parallels to modern experiences of being falsely accused, Pastor John highlighted four accusers in the passage. Firstly, the Jewish leaders, driven by envy, accused Jesus despite Pilate finding no guilt. Secondly, Pilate, motivated by political expediency, succumbed to pressure and ordered Jesus' flogging. Thirdly, fear gripped Pilate as he considered Jesus' divine nature, influenced by his wife's troubling dream. This fear hinted at the presence of the ultimate accuser, Satan. Finally, the crowd, swayed by mob mentality, demanded Jesus' crucifixion. Pastor John offered practical insights on navigating false accusations, emphasizing the importance of fearing God over man, expecting accusations when taking a stand, discerning between worldly accusations and godly conviction, and anticipating the day of judgment. He urged listeners not to settle for substitute saviors but to trust in Jesus, the true Lamb of God who bears away the sins of the world.
