And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will you then that I shall do unto him whom you call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil has he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him. And so Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
Y Pilato, tomando de nuevo la palabra, les decía: ¿Qué haré, entonces, con el que llamáis el Rey de los judíos? Ellos le respondieron a gritos: ¡Crucifícale! Y Pilato les decía: ¿Por qué? ¿Qué mal ha hecho? Y ellos gritaban aún más: ¡Crucifícale! Pilato, queriendo complacer a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y después de hacer azotar a Jesús, le entregó para que fuera crucificado.
I wonder how often I act just like Pontius Pilate? How many times do I just go with the crowd when I know something is wrong. Do we agree that God shouldn’t be in school or courthouses? Why aren’t we the believers and disciples screaming? Are we just going along? On this Holy weekend, I give Jesus so much thanks for what He did for me. Please help me God not be like Pontius.

I was just considering this exact same thing you wrote as I thought about what Jesus did for us. Yes, may we all be bold for Christ. Fear God, and not man, Isaiah 51 12
Happy Easter,

This is very true. I have been asking Christian’s, even myself this question. Why is it the one parent can go into a school and complain about the 10 commandments and they have to be removed from our school? But there are several Christian’s that do not go and fight for our rights to have those in our personal space. I pray for our country and for me and other Christians to start standing up to those that rebuke Jesus and rebuke us….Love your articles…
