Not Guilty!


Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. I will therefore punish and release him.”
Luke 23:13-16

Not guilty
yet He died for sin
not His own
but ours
lead Him to be accused

Not guilty
Holy Lamb of God
bore our sin
upon Him
beaten, mocked, abused

Not guilty
Pilate said so clearly
but then caved
to soothe
God's accusers, he washed his hands

Not guilty
yet on a cross
Jesus would die
in love
taking sin's punishment as the God Man

Not guilty
such a Savior
is our Jesus
for us,
Praise His saving power!

Not guilty
He makes us holy
through His love
always known
by believing Him this hour.
