Had Pilate known what Jesus was about, that would have been a horrific pickle for him... what, I’m supposed to crucify this Man? Well maybe not such a pickle. He would have worshiped Jesus and let the situation fall where it may, which could have ended up with Caesar on both of their backs. Man can’t plan anything that God cannot deftly work around.
The fact of the matter, is that He died because of you and me,
We killed Jesus.
Truth is NOT always offensive. It is only offensive to those who hate it, reject it, or cannot face it.
Jesus also said in John 3, “men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices THE TRUTH comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought by God.”
What does light do? Reveals. What does it reveal? What is really true. Light and truth are inseparable.
Liberals hate both truth and light. Their means is to lie, to deceive, as they, like the Jewish leaders of His day, are children of their father - the father of lies. Obamacare was conceived in darkness, passed in darkness, and was lied about in every detail. It never would have passed in the light even with the Dems controlling both houses.
To make a liberal mad, tell him the truth. To make a Christian conservative mad, tell him a lie.
If we didn’t have those who love the light and love the truth, there would be no Free Republic.
(PS: Thank you Jim.)
Obama has publicly lied to the whole nation repeatedly about Obamacare - AND HAS EVEN BEEN FULLY EXPOSED BY ALL THE MEDIA IN A COUPLE OF THOSE LIES.
And yet, a huge number of our nation still support him.
How can that be?
Men love darkness - because their deeds are evil.
