Mark 15:25-27 And
it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his
accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. And with him they crucify
two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. In
Isaiah 53:12, Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be numbered among the
transgressors And He certainly was! He was nailed to a cross with a thief of
one side and a thief on the other. Pilate was convinced that Jesus was truly
the King of the Jews, so he wrote that above Jesus. But the Jews were furious!
They thought that Pilate should have written that Jesus only said
that He was the King of the Jews. But Pilate was adamant. He refused to change
the inscription above Jesus. He wanted to get one last dig at the Jews. That
was because Pilate thought that Jesus was innocent and that He was a good man.
Pilate was so close to salvation. But close is not enough. Poor Pilate. He had
a chance, but probably didn’t take it. Too bad!
