Sermon Series: Good Soil - Where real life rises Sermon Title: Jesus’ trial and death. The innocent and the guilty. Passage: Mark 15:1-20 Date: 20th September 2026, 6 pm. Preacher: Ian Morrison…
It's perhaps a discomfort that we all feel when we hear that those who are innocent have been judged guilty.
We see it in innocent parties perhaps caught up in the middle of war or conflict.
We see it all the way down to our family life and we see it all the way down to the kitchen bench in our households.
Mum and dad cry out to a particular child who they believe has left their cereal bowl on the kitchen bench instead of putting it in the dishwasher.
The particular child then yells back from the top of the stairs, no, I did pack my cereal bowl in the dishwasher.
Voices rise, evidence is presented from different children, innocence is professed.
There are cries that justice must be done and the guilty must come forward and put their bowl in the dishwasher.
From the youngest of us to the oldest of us, we all know that it is wrong when the innocent are treated as guilty.
He escapes a prison transport and searches for justice trying to find the real man who murdered his wife.
As an audience, we can't help but cheer that the innocent man would be pardoned and get off because there's something inside each and every one of us that just wants to put things right.
But if we feel so strongly about the innocent being condemned, then the flip side of that also seems to be true.
It feels so wrong at the same time to see guilty people go free with no consequences.
