Two Choices

"What should I do with Jesus, the one called Christ?" Matthew 17:11
Pilate is correct in his question. "What should I do with Jesus, the one called Christ?"
Perhaps you, like Pilate, are curious about this one called Jesus.
What do you do with a man who claimes to be God, yet hates religion? What do you do with a man who calls himself the Savior, yet condemns systems? What do you do with a man who knows the place and time of his death, yet goes there anyway? . . .
You have two choices.
You can reject him. That is an option.
You can, as have many, decide that the idea of God's becoming a carpenter is too bizarre -- and walk away.
Or you can accept him. You can journey with him. You can listen for his voice amid the hundreds of voices and follow him.
