02:07Pilate. For my part, I find this man not guilty of anything. We have a law and
02:14According to that law he must die, the Jews said, because he has claimed to be the Son of God.
02:21Pilate brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat, in a place called the
02:27cobblestones. Here is your king, Pilate said to the Jews. Away, away! they shouted, crucify him!
02:35“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate replied. “We have no king but the emperor.”
02:42"Roman," the chief priests replied. Then Pilate handed him over to them to be taken to the Roman court.
02:49They crucified him, and the soldiers took him away. The path to the Father is nearing its end. The righteous one.
02:58He has been condemned in place of the guilty one. It is not the pagans who do not know him, those who do not know him.
03:06have heard, those who have not been healed, those who have not received his word, those who have not been
03:11blessed and loved by him. No, they are precisely those who received only love and blessings from him.
03:21Grace. If it weren't for the fact that we have heard it and that they have testified to it that it happened this way...
03:29Things that morning, it would be truly difficult to believe that there could be so much in the heart of man
03:36evil. However, we can see that this scene continues to happen in our time.
03:44in our own environment. Within ourselves, every time we choose worldliness,
03:54We are taking the position of the Pharisees who prefer the death of an innocent person to having to
04:00to obey the law more faithfully, the law that God has given them. But this scene is also repeated.
04:07When we, like Pilate, are cowards and do not bravely face our reality
04:15Christians when we publicly deny it for fear of what others will say, for fear of being rejected or being a cause
04:24of ridicule from our friends and acquaintances, from our family. Pilate knew that Jesus was
04:31innocent and that they had handed him over out of envy to get rid of him. Pilate is a
04:37Coward, he condemns him to death instead of growing a pair and making justice shine.
04:45However, how many times have we done exactly the same thing? How many times have we
04:53I prefer to remain cowardly silent when someone offends Jesus with a joke, with a bad comment about
04:59His ministers, with the biting and destructive criticism of the church? Yes, brothers, we are not
05:07very different from the people who gathered that Friday, as they do today, to condemn Jesus. It is therefore necessary
05:15to ask Jesus to forgive us, for we are the ones who betrayed him and we are the ones who betrayed him
05:22that we have condemned him. Forgive us, Jesus. Help us to be consistent with our Christianity. Help us to
05:32to reject sin, to live according to your will, to love you above all things, to be with you in
05:40Through good times and bad, to walk with you to the Father's house, even if we have to
05:47To endure, as you have, the insults, the ignominy, the rejection of the whole world. Take my hand and
05:55Take me to you. Don't let me deny and condemn you again. Forgive me, Jesus. Forgive me.
