Jesus answered, “Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”
Prayer Focus: Jesus is on trial for his life, and yet, EVEN NOW, he is still ministering to others. When he asks Pilate this question, he is trying to interact with Pilate’s authentic self. In his question Jesus is unmasking the façade that Pilate is trying so desperately to keep in place. Jesus is saying to him, “I know others want to know the answer to that question…but what do YOU want to know? What are you longing to understand Pilate? How can I give you care?” Jesus is trying to break down Pilate’s wall. I wonder what facades we work hard to keep up? And I wonder how and when we might allow ourselves to put them down. Pray today that you might allow yourself to be your most authentic self, just as God created you.
