"What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?" Pilate asked them.

Introduction: When Jesus was dragged to Pilate to stand trial, Pilate stood before the crowd and said, "What shall I do with the one you call the king of the Jews?" What Pilate said here certainly catches our attention, because the Bible asks the same question to all people on earth, "What will you do with Jesus?" How we think and decide about Jesus during our life on earth determines our eternal future. Why can´t we take Jesus for granted?
