When Jesus stands before Pilate and Herod, both rulers find Him innocent, yet the crowd demands the release of Barabbas, the rebel. Their choice exposes humanity’s deep tendency to prefer earthly power over God's redemption.
Christ remains steadfast, the Lamb of God who cannot be turned from his mission. Each test affirms his identity and authority. For us, the coin reminds us of our true citizenship in God’s kingdom, and the marriage question points to our final hope of the glorious banquet of the Lamb. His victory secures our redemption and calls us to live in the confidence of Christ’s resurrection, with hope, peace, and confidence because we walk in the power of His Spirit.
