He Wore My Crown of Thorns

Pastor Eddie Eaton follows Pilate's repeated declarations that Jesus is innocent, the soldiers' cruel crown of thorns and purple robe, and the crowd's demand for crucifixion. Pilate faces the shortness of time and the vastness of eternity, yet chooses expediency over truth. The message holds human responsibility and divine providence together: Pilate freely acts from a compromised heart while God sovereignly brings about the saving death of the innocent King who wears the sinner's crown.
