God's Faithfulness to a Faithless World
John 18:12-19:16
On the cross, God proves the extent of his faithfulness at exactly the moment when we deserve it least.
3 Pictures of Failure:
- The failure of the world’s rulers to do justice (18.28-19.16)
- Pilate crucifies a man he knows to be guiltless (18.38, 19.16)
- The failure of God’s people to recognize their God (18.12-14, 19-24)
-Jesus is rejected and sent to die by those he came to save (19.15-16)
- The failure of Peter to remain faithful to Jesus (18.15-18, 25-27)
- Peter is willing to kill for Jesus, but not to die with him (18.10, 26-27)
Take Home Idea: The world’s great faithlessness only served to magnify the fact that God’s faithfulness was greater still
