What does true innocence look like in the face of injustice? Pastor Jim draws us into this powerful question through
the compelling parallel of Enron whistleblower Sherron Watkins and Jesus Christ's trial before Pilate.
Diving deep into Matthew 27:11-26, he illuminates how Jesus—though completely innocent—stood
in dignified silence before false accusations, choosing to bear our punishment rather than defend Himself.

Pastor Jim weaves together the political pressures facing Pilate, the manipulative schemes of the religious leaders,
and the tragic irony of the crowd choosing Barabbas (whose name means "son of the father") over Jesus, the true
Son of God. This perspective highlights how Jesus' silence wasn't weakness but resolute submission to the Father's
redemptive plan.

The message resonates with our modern experience, reminding us that whether we feel falsely accused like Jesus or stand
guilty like Barabbas, the cross offers hope—for Jesus took our place so we could go free.

Pastor Jim challenges us to carry this transformative truth into our communities, sharing with others that no one is
beyond the reach of Christ's substitutionary sacrifice.
