LORD'S DAY 15, Q38 Pontius Pilate - the Cowardly Judge
We have been looking at Lord’s Day 15, and now we arrive at Q38, - Q.38 Why did he suffer under Pontius Pilate as judge? Though innocent, Christ was condemned by an earthly judge, and so he freed us from the severe judgment of God that was to fall on us.
Our instructor is leading us to the cross. In our last lesson I tried to impress upon you that the cross of Christ was THE singular most important event in the history of mankind, - for at the Cross, God the creator gave his only begotten Son, to die - to take upon himself all the guilt, sin, punishment and wrath that was due to us - God’s rebellious creatures. He died willingly, and without hesitation. Every sin, ever committed by a sinner was paid for, at the cross. His death is enough. Nothing needs to be added to that perfect sacrifice.
But now we are confronted with a question that might almost seem, at first glance, like a distraction. We are asked, “Why did he suffer UNDER PONTIUS PILATE?” Why indeed! And why is it so important for us to know the reason?
