Empty Week 2-Pilate & The Crowd (Easter Series 2024)

Chisholm Assembly of God Podcast

Pastor Micah continued our 2024 Easter series this year, "Empty." As Easter approaches we're focusing on how through an empty tomb we find the ultimate fulfillment in our lives through Christ! This series unpacks the idea of emptiness by following people connected to the death of Jesus and showing that only at the empty tomb will we be made full.
This week we looked at the story involving Pilate and the crowd as Jesus is put on trial. Pilate mentions multiple times that Jesus is innocent and he wants nothing to do with Jesus. Ultimately, he allows the crowd to sway his decision making even though he knows it's not the right choice to make. Know that if you are looking to the crowd to find approval, you’re looking in the wrong place. Because only Jesus and a relationship with Him can truly bring fulfillment to your life.
Bottom Line: Do I feel full or empty? Am I satisfied in life? Or am I searching for more? Then ask: What am I trying to find fulfillment with? Am I seeking Jesus or am I chasing something else? Everything else will only lead you to emptiness and ultimately death. It is only in Jesus and at His empty tomb that we truly find life.
