DAILY DEVOTIONS
Sermon Series: The Gospel of Luke
Sermon Title: Four Rulers
Sermon Text: Luke 23:1-17
Sermon Points:
1. Caesar - The Threatened Ruler
2. Pilate - The Indecisive Ruler
3. Herod - The Mocking Ruler
4. Jesus - The Real Ruler
The Big Idea: Nothing threatens phony rulers like the Real Ruler.
Daily Devotional Guide
There's the real ruler. There are the imposter rulers. And then there are those who follow.
Those are the major players in this week's passage. They're also the major figures we see today. In fact, there really isn't another alternative for us. We're not God so we can't be the Real Ruler. That leaves imposters and followers as our only two options. Very few of us will rise to the level of a Caesar or Herod. When it comes to government, most of us will be followers. That begs the question. Will we follow the Real Ruler or the phonies? There is no other option.
There were certainly people in first century Israel who thought Caesar, Pilate, and Herod were pretty good guys. Perhaps some found their policies beneficial or their rhetoric compelling. But in the end, these men were phony rulers. Caesar demanded worship. Herod was curious about the Lord Jesus Christ but ended up mocking and beating Him. Pilate couldn't make up his mind, which is just another way of saying he rejected Jesus.
Over them all, there stands the Real Ruler. Jesus doesn't say much in this week's passage. The rulers around Him do most of the talking. But sometimes the old song is true. "You say it best when you say nothing at all." The one phrase Jesus does speak in this passage is a short one. "You have said so." He said this after Pilate asked Him if He was the King of the Jews. Nothing more needed to be said at that moment. There would be times for the Lord to speak in the moments ahead.
We can pretend to be God, like Caesar.
We can curiously mock Jesus, like Herod.
Or we can be indecisive, like Pilate.
One thing is for sure. We can't be neutral. Either we will worship the Real Ruler or be deceived by the phony ones. There is no other option.
