TODAY’S TOPIC: Displacing the righteous man
Text: Luke (NIV Bible)
"23:18 With one voice they cried out, "Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us!'
23:19 (Barabbas had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder.)
23:20 Wanting to release Jesus, Pilate appealed to them again.
23:21 But they kept shouting, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"
23:22 For the third time he spoke to them: "Why? What crime has this man committed? I have found in him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore I will have him punished and then release him."
23:23 But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.
23:24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
23:25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will."
*SHOWER:*
This period in Christendom calls for a sober reflection, total repentance and charity. Jesus Christ is a perfect example of what we call leadership by example. He paid the ultimate price. Unfortunately, the world replaced Him with a criminal. This is what we behold in the present generation. Some have rejected him because of mere love of money, new jobs, food, etc. I pray we learn, relearn about Him and become wiser now by disengaging or stopping any act of rejecting Jesus
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, I have learnt not to disappoint You again. Help me to adhere to my new intention to serve You alone in Jesus name, Amen!
