Dear Charles,
Today is the beginning of Passover. A day when in
ancient times they would offer a Lamb for sacrifice.
Let us be mindful that; CHRIST, OUR PASSOVER, WAS
SACRIFICED. for us on that day! ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 )

( Today's Message contains only verses taken from the
Bible. They are not capitalized because of the events
they describe.)

Now It Is Written:
Just as He was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve
appeared. With him was a crowd armed with swords
and clubs, sent from the chief priests, the teachers
of the law, and the elders. ( Mark 14:43 )

They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief
priests, elders and teachers of the law came together.
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking
for evidence against Jesus so that they could put Him
to death. ( Mark 14:53 & 55 )

Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the
elders, the teachers of the law and the whole
Sanhedrin reached a decision. They bound Jesus,
led Him away and handed him over to Pilate.
( Mark 15:1 )

While Pilate was setting on the judge's seat, his
wife sent him this message: "Don't have anything to
do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great
deal today in a dream because of Him."
( Matthew 27:19 )

Now it was the governor's custom at the Feast
to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.
( Matthew 27:15 )

The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them
what he usually did. "Do you want me to release to
you the King of the Jews?" asked Pilate. But the
chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate
release Barabbas instead. ( Mark 15: 8, 9 & 11 )

"What shall I do then, with the one you call the
King of the Jews?" Pilate asked them. "Crucify him!"
they shouted. "Why? What crime has He committed?"
asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder,
"Crucify him!" ( Mark 15:12-14 )
