What Evil has He done?

When the people cried out crucify him, Pilate said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” The people shouted louder “Crucify Him”. Pilate wanting to satisfy the crowd released Barabbas and delivered Jesus to be crucified. Everyone in that crowd knew of the virtuous life of Jesus. A perfect man obedient to the Father, empowered by the Holy Spirit, who manifested the fruit of the Spirit, and the compassion of God; He went about doing good, healing people, helping people, feeding people, setting people free from all oppression. Even Pilate admitted “I FIND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN” (Luke 23:4), even the demons declared He was “THE HOLY ONE OF GOD!” (Mark 1:24).
Jesus was the summation of all moral qualities the incarnation of all virtue. Yet in spite of all of this the people cried “crucify Him!”, “crucify Him!” Think about it! Barabbas instead of Jesus. A thief instead of a giver, a sinner instead of a Savior, a killer instead of a healer, a peace breaker instead of a peace maker, an evil man instead of a righteous man. This is still happening today as people choose all kinds of things instead of Jesus Christ.
