Hi
Have you ever sought to “do you”? How did that feel? What triggered the feeling? How’d you respond to the ‘Haters’?
Here’s today’s nougat
From then on, Pilate tried to release Him. But the Jews cried out, “If you release this Man, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!” John 19:12 MEV
You are no friend of Cesar! As a public figure who was already on shaky ground with Caesar, Pilate’s “DO ME” plan was all but doomed. One act of public riots or rebellion from the Jews would be the END of his career.
What a dilemma! Caught between the Devil and Calcary! Should he follow his instincts (God’s still small voice) or put his career in jeapordy for being anti-established.
Been there before? What did you decide? Dont rush to the biblical conclusion as yet. What if you had the opportunity to offer counsel; how would you have counseled Pilate? Remember, his career (and cushy retirement plan) is seriously at stake. And what about the Haters?
Your Feedback/Reflections welcomed.
In Christ.
