[JESUS] 7. Conversation with Pilate: The Beauty of Jesus Aug 21, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, we continue our study of Jesus' conversation with Pilate in John 18.

"Jesus enters Pilate's world. It's not like Jesus is just witnessing to Pilate. He is doing that, but it is inseparable from incarnating, entering his world."

"Love moves toward people."

"Jesus forbears. It's one of the fruits of the spirit, usually translated as patience, but a better translation would be forbearance. It's the activity of absorbing someone's evil. If forgiveness erases the guilt, forbearance absorbs the pain of the sin… What forgiveness and forbearance do is they clear the playing field for love."

[JESUS] 5. Conversation with Pilate: The Mock (John 18) Jul 24, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, we shift our focus to Jesus' conversation with Pilate in John 18.

"Pilate asks Jesus, 'Are you the King of the Jews?' Almost everybody takes that at face value, but it is almost certainly a mock. Let's think about it. Everyone in this situation knows Jesus is not the King of the Jews ... Pilate is mocking Jesus. After this scene, the joke, 'Is Jesus King of the Jews?' goes all through the narrative."

"For guys in particular, the faux intimacy of mocking can give the illusion that we're close when we aren't and keep us from developing genuine intimacy; it can even begin to redefine intimacy as mocking."
