Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; as you can see, He has done nothing to deserve death. - Luke 23:15
How does the court system work during those times? Pilate makes the decisions. He is the ultimate authority (which, by the way, seems like a horrible idea - to have one person decide every case!), and he says that he can't find anything wrong with what Jesus did. Herod can't find anything wrong with what Jesus did. And then he literally says, "He has done nothing to deserve death."
24 hours later Jesus is dead (well at least for a couple of hours!).
Injustice drives me crazy! And I'm sure it drove You crazy too! If You didn't know what was at stake here or the Father's plan, I have to imagine this would have angered You to no end. Maybe I could remember that - talk to the Father, see what His plan is, see how this might fit into the mission. Maybe then I could live out of purpose instead of anger!
