Why Do People Reject Jesus?... Pilate
By looking at Jesus’ trial and crucifixion we encounter different types of people who reject Jesus. Last time we talked about “Religious people” by looking at the Pharisees and the religious leaders back in Jesus’ day. We see that the same kind of attitude towards Jesus exists with the same type of people today.To see the second kind of person who rejects Jesus, we look no further than Pontious Pilate.

He couldn’t understand why these people wanted to kill Jesus, but his fear of the Jew’s political pressure made

Overcoming Depression...
Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in GodI will praise Him again—my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42: 5, 6We all visit there. Some go there more than others, and to some it feels like they never left. Depression is an all too common emotion. Actually, it’s a form of bondage…mental torture. What a misconception to think Christians don’t get depressed! We’re human, just like everybody else. But there’s a major difference, a definite difference, the difference between life… and death. “…let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” Romans 12: 2
