I Believe, an Easter Reflection


I was watching a movie about Jesus, and I saw Pontius Pilate washing his hands and saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this man Jesus."  The first thought that came to my mind is "None of us are innocent of His blood."

He paid for our sins with His blood.  Would you believe?  Would you follow Him?

The Resurrected Jesus Speaking to Peter

 “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”  (Romans 10: 8-13)
