Pilate

Pilate the Governor was a conflicted man at the trial of Jesus. While believing Jesus was an innocent man and wanting to release Him, Pilate also wanted to satisfy the crowd. In the end, he decided to wash his hands of responsibility and send Jesus to be crucified. Many today face the same conflict of wanting to stand with Jesus but also satisfy the crowd. Every soul must make this eternal choice. Washing our hands does not free us from judgment.TURN-TO REFERENCES:JOHN 19:1-16MATTHEW 27:19MATTHEW 27:24MATTHEW 11:20-24ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE:1 KINGS 18:21MARK 15:15GALATIANS 1:10DEUTERONOMY 21MATTHEW 27:25
