Tonight I will be speaking on the Alamo church of Christ Summer Series. As speakers we were asked to tailor our lessons around a character from the New Testament that we don't often hear lessons about. After a couple of thoughts, I decided to speak on Pontius Pilate. I can honestly say I have never heard a lesson centered around Pilate and his role in the Gospel narrative. I have found preparing for this lesson challenging and it has caused me to exam the death of Jesus in new ways. I am not sure how much I have learned will be conveyed to the congregation tonight, but I hope some small measure of knowledge can be transferred. Here's hoping we all re-evaluate these familiar passages from time to time and come away with a deeper, fuller understanding of what God has done and is doing for us.
