Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.

So they took charge of Jesus. He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgatha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. Pilate wrote a notice and had it put on the cross. "Jesus, of Nazareth, the King of the Jews," is what he wrote.

John 19:16-18

You may try to bring people to Christ your whole life. The payback came to one Florida Sunday School teacher who witnessed endlessly to a convict on death row. One New Testament from a Sunday School teacher led 47 people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. How many have you brought to Christ? Don't give up, no matter how long it takes.

When we witness to others about Jesus Christ, some may not repent until late in life. So, let's never give up on anyone.

When you know Christ, you want others to know Him too.
