Quiet Time Notes

Costly Inaction

I am innocent of this man's blood. The responsibility is yours! - Matthew 27:24

Pontius Pilate had Jesus standing before him, accused of captial crimes but guilty of nothing

He recognized Jesus' innocence and just wanted to let him go

Pilate knew the right thing to do but rather than make an unpopular decision, he caved in

He even symboliclly washed his hands of responibility for what would happen to Jesus

It was a legacy that no man can wash from his hands

You demonstrate your courage and conviction when you assume responsibility and do what is right, even when it is risky
