Pilate had sinned in that he had had Jesus scouraged and abused by the Roman soldiers by this time in the narrative. Later, he would have Jesus, a man he knew to be innocent, crucified. However, the sin of the Jews (and Judas) was worse because it was born out of envy. It was also done in the full knowledge of the miracles and teachings of Jesus. I would never gainsay Christ, for He is judge, and it is His puragotive to evaluate sin. However, it is a good time, I think, to point out just how truly horendous is sin. I am mindful of the following quote by Jonathan Edwards (1705-1758), "Any sin is more or less heinous depending upon the honor and majesty of the one whom we had offended. Since God is of infinite honor, infinite majesty, and infinite holiness, the slightest sin is of infinite consequence. The slightest sin is nothing less than cosmic treason when we realize against Whom we have sinned." |
