Matthew 12:30
​He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Happy New Year from Lonesome Road Ministries!

Matthew 27:11–30 makes one truth unmistakably clear: when it comes to Jesus Christ, there is no
neutral ground. You are either for Him, or you are against Him. In this passage, Jesus stands innocent before Pilate. Pilate knew the truth, yet he refused to act on it. The crowd was given a choice—Jesus or Barabbas—and they chose the guilty man. Others mocked, beat, and humiliated Jesus. Some acted out of hatred, others out of fear, and many through silence. But every response led to the same result: rejection of Christ.

This passage speaks directly to our world today. Many people believe that staying neutral about Jesus is enough. But Matthew 27 shows us that silence and indecision still place us on the wrong side of eternity. Knowing the truth but refusing to follow it is not faith—it is rejection. Jesus endured the crown of thorns, the mocking, the spitting, and the beatings for one reason: love. He was not forced to the cross; He chose it. He took the punishment we deserved so that we could receive forgiveness we do not deserve. While the world stood against Him, He stood for us. The question this passage asks is personal and urgent: What will you do with this man called Jesus? Not tomorrow. Not someday. Right now. If you are not standing with Him, you are standing against Him - Whether by choice, compromise, or delay.
​
Today is the day to choose Jesus. Choose the One who remained silent so you could be forgiven. Choose the Savior who was rejected so you could be accepted. Choose life, salvation, and truth If you have never trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, call on Him today. Turn from sin, believe in His sacrifice, and confess Him boldly. He is still offering grace to all who will choose Him. This Scripture is a call to each and everyone of us!
