Who Sits on the Throne? (John 18:28-40)

From the Garden of Eden to the trial of Jesus before Pilate, the Bible reveals humanity's continual struggle to rule itself rather than submit to God's authority. In John 18, we see the religious leaders and Pilate each fighting to preserve their own power, while Jesus—the true King—stands in perfect obedience to the Father's will. This message explores how every sin is ultimately an act of rebellion against God's rightful rule and how Christ, the innocent King, took the place of guilty rebels so that all who trust in Him can be welcomed into His eternal kingdom.
