Question: “What shall I do with Jesus?”

Pilate was in a quandary. He was standing before a crowd thirsting for blood. On either side of him stood Barabbas and Jesus. The one, a known insurrectionist and likely killer. The other, the Son of God and Savior of all. The choice seemed easy to make. But the outcome was to release Barabbas and crucify Jesus. Countless unbelieving minds have asked themselves Pilate’s question, “What shall I do with Jesus?” Unfortunately many make the wrong choice and pay dearly for it. In his grace and mercy, God has shown us what to do. We can love him, praise him, please him, pray to him, thank him, and tell others about him. Spend today thinking what you can do with Jesus. It will make your day!

A verse to remember:

“The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me!”

Galatians 2:20

 A closing verse:

One there is for whom I’m living,
Whom I love most tenderly;
Unto Je­sus I am giving
What in love He gave to me.
Jesus’ blood hides all my guilt;
“Lord, oh, lead me as Thou wilt.”
