Matthew 26:57-67; 27:1-26 I. The threatened. II. The distracted. Trifle not with Christ, whose hands and feet were nailed to the accursed tree for sinners such as you. Trifle not with his precious blood, for that is your only hope of redemption. Trifle not with the Holy Spirit, for if he should leave you to perish, your case would be hopeless. Trifle not with the gospel; what would the lost in hell not give to hear another proclamation of mercy! The devil does not trifle; he is very earnestly seeking your destruction. God and Christ and the Holy Spirit are not trifling with you, and (I am) not trifling with you either. Charles Spurgeon It was not unbelief that sent Pilate to hell; it was indifference. III. The guilty. IV. The despairing (or unbelieving).
