Life's Greatest Question
Dr. Adrian Rogers
Matthew 27:22
Would you take God's Word, please, and turn to Matthew chapter 27. In a moment I'm going to read to you one of the most searching questions in all of the Bible and in all of the world. The title of our message tonight, Life's Greatest Question. Here's the question. Matthew chapter 27 verse 22, ''Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?''

This, ladies and gentlemen, in my estimation, beyond the shadow of any doubt or peradventure, is the greatest, most pertinent question that I could ask.
And I want to tell you about this question. It's a personal question. I'm asking it to every mother's child in this building. What will you do with Jesus Christ? It's a personal question. Not only is it a personal question, it's a pressing question. I'm going to press it upon you tonight and I'm going to ask you to answer that question tonight. As a matter of fact, I'm going to require you to answer that question tonight. You say, I'm not going to answer it. Then you've already answered it.

It is a pressing question. It is a pertinent question because it deals with life and death, heaven or hell. Your eternal destiny hinges upon the way you answer this question: What shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?
Now, if you're a Bible student, you'll recognize the setting of this question--that Jesus Christ has finished His earthly ministry and it is coming to a close. He has been arrested. He is now standing before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, and the people are clamoring for capital punishment. They are saying that Jesus Christ ought to be crucified. Pilate doesn't really want to crucify Christ, so he ...
