In the book of Matthew 27 in the persecution of Jesus Christ we learn a very valuable lesson with King Pilate in learning to stand for what is right by God instead of following the Kings actions and allowing the people to misguide his decision. The King new Jesus was innocent but failed as a man and as leader to rebuke the crowd in the name of the Lord and this led to the crucifixion.
This event was all part of God’s plan to teach us and save us from the pitts of Hell but this lesson is also here to teach us how to stand for what is right by God in our homes and in our nation. When we fail to stand in love for what is simply right by God there is suffering and bondage that takes place due to trying to please the people instead of being obedient to God.
Are you easily swayed with the world? Do you allow the gossip of others to form your opinions? Or, do you love thy neighbor as thyself and place your trust in God instead of following man? Did you know that every time that we say something negative of another that we are only driving the in the nails on the cross? I challenge you today to learn how to stand in the love of Jesus without allowing the world to sway what you know in your heart…amen
