Luke continues with his account of the trial of Jesus, now before Pilate and Herod. Both find Jesus innocent of any wrong doing, yet neither is willing to release him.  The angry crowd and vengeful religious leaders ultimately yell louder and win their own way - Pilate yields to the will of the people. Yet in it all, Jesus remains innocent and guilty of nothing - even as he endures the horrific mockery of justice. As the innocent and righteous one, Jesus is condemned by angry, vengeful, indifferent and coerced sinners like us!

Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life!  Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity!  He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain that everything about Jesus is true!
