Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?”
Prayer Focus: Pilate goes on the defensive. Its almost as if he himself is on trial here instead of Jesus. He is trying to keep Jesus’s compassion for him at arm’s length, so he deflects Jesus’s question with more of his own questions. How often do we push away people who are trying to help us? How often do we deny that we need help in the first place? Jesus has so much to offer us, but his gifts are only a part of our lives when we are willing and able to accept them. Pray today that you might allow yourself to receive the gifts that are offered to you, both by Jesus, and by those around you.
