Mark 15:1-15
In our scripture for today we find Pilate questioning Jesus to determine whether the charges against him were true. Pilate realizes Jesus is innocent, but as is stated in verse 15, “Wanting to satisfy the crowd,” he releases Barabbas instead of Jesus. Pilate goes against what he knows is right because he did not want to upset the crowd.
How often in our daily lives are we Pilate? How frequently do we go along with something we know we shouldn’t just to please the crowd? We are the face of Christianity today. Everything we do and say is a direct reflection of Christ.
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.” (DC Talk)
Let’s examine our actions and attitudes every day to be sure that our words and deeds are supporting Christ not crucifying Him.
