Mark 15:
14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Mass hysteria has ensued. The crowd has been driven into a frenzy. Pilate knows he is doing wrong, but he just wants it to be over.
How many times have I shrugged my shoulders and just wished for the bad times to be over? Have I let wrong be done b/c I didn't have the courage, the fortitude, to stand up for right? Have I let the feeling of belonging allow me to be carried into a place of wrongdoing just so I can feel validated by those who surround me?
Prayer: O, Lord, let me stand for what is right, even when it is a struggle to continue the good fight. Lord, help me to know when it is time to distance myself from the crowd and stand up against the majority who are misguided. Let me, above all, know and follow Your will, b/c that will always be the better choice.
Amen
