What Shall We Do to Jesus Who is Called Christ?

Matt 27:22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ? Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”

When Jesus stood on trial, Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent and that there was no basis for laying any charge on Him. More than that, Pilate had been specifically warned by God through a dream given to his wife, that Jesus was innocent! And so, with this weighing upon his mind, he gets to the all-important question: “What shall I do, then, with Jesus?” Yet, instead of making a decision, he asks the question to the crowds. And their answer is quick and brutal – “Crucify him!”

Everyone of us needs to ponder to this all-important question – “What shall I do with Jesus?” It is a question that God requires each of us to answer. The fact is that, we are all asked to “do” something with the Lord Jesus. We are to believe on Him and give Him His rightful place as Lord of our lives. Pilate couldn’t make that all-important decision, so he went with the will of the majority. What a terrible mistake he made! Oftentimes, when majority are let to decide, it is always a wrong decision. Majority will always crucify the Lord. When we finally stand before the Lord there will not be security in numbers. What the majority thinks will be of no use!
