The crowd welcomed Jesus with great joy, many recognizing Him as a prophet, some as the Messiah. It is hard to believe just one week later the crowd would be demanding His crucifixion. Jesus overcame His human temptation to avoid the cross, He refused to use His matchless power to avoid His mission. He was paraded through kangaroo courts, while not opening His mouth to defend Himself. Now, the decision was in the hands of Pontius Pilate. What would he do with Jesus? Although it appeared Jesus was on trial, the rest of the world was faced with the same question as Pilate: What shall I do with Jesus? What can we learn from this passage that helps us answer this crucial question?
