Verse:
Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. (KJV)
Thought:
Pilate will forever remain a perfect example of those who fail, through cowardice, to live up to their responsibilities. He knew what he should do yet could not resist the pressure. Regardless of the peer pressure applied to us today, we know right from wrong and cannot escape the responsibility of our actions. We can’t profess to be Christians in the church on Sunday and then live the rest of the week as though it doesn’t matter. We must ever try to live the Christian life, not try to ‘content the people’.
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Thank You for this day and all of Your blessings. Abba Lord, help us to follow the example of Jesus in using the lessons He taught to resist the temptations we face each day and live for You. Have Your Holy Spirit give us the strength, courage, and fortitude to stand up for what we know to be right and to not be influenced to do wrong but to ever follow in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior. We lift our prayers up to You in the name of Your Son, Jesus the Christ...Amen.
Good morning to one and all. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours for a safe and wonder-filled day.
May God Bless, Michael
