Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 20. I will then key in on verse 9 - Who can say, "I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin"? Friends, I picked this verse today because we are in the process of charging Jesus to the point of crucifying Him. Yet, He was totally sinless. This verse reminds us today that none of us is sinless - we may do our best not to sin, and yet we still do. On today's podcast we will continue our study of the Gospel, according to Luke. Today we will be beginning Chapter 23. We will be going over the first five verses - which are entitled Jesus Handed over to Pontius Pilate. There was a bit more material in this lesson than I had time for - so we will continue where we left off today on Wednesday's podcast. By the end of this lesson there are three things I ask that you consider:
1. Jesus proclaimed that He was the king of the Jews.
2. Judas felt remorse for having betrayed Jesus.
3. My kingdom is not from this world. (we did not get a chance to get to this point on today's lesson - but we will get to it on Wednesday's podcast).
Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:
Proverb 20:9; Luke 23:1-5; Matthew 27:1-2; Matthew 27:3-10; Acts 1:18-19; Matthew 27:11-13 (didn't get a chance to go over); John 18:28-38 (only got through half of this passage today).
Call to Action - Considering our verse of the day, Jesus was sinless - thus verse 9 did not apply to Jesus. However, it does apply to everyone who tuned in to today's podcast. My question for each of you is - Are you aware that you are still sinners? If we knowingly sin, we still need to confess our sins today.
