Daily devotion – Pontius Pilate
Luke 23:4 So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no fault in this Man.”
As we approach Easter, the name of Pontius Pilate will be forever linked…to the final order, the washing of his hands, knowingly condemning an innocent man – Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to death by crucifixion.
But the name of Pontius Pilate will also stand forever as a prime example of someone who knew what was right – but failed to do it!
He caved in to the pressure of the crowd and ordered Jesus death.
How often do you cave in to the pressure of the crowd, seeking the approval of others instead of the approval of God?
This week make it your goal to live for Jesus Christ and be faithful to Him, regardless of what the crowd demands!
Luke 23:23 But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
