So when they had gathered, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Christ?” For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered Him up. Matthew 27:17, 18
Lord what a difficult spot Pilot was in. He knew You were being set up because the leaders envied You. At least he had an out because he could offer them a choice. This took it out of his hands and into the hands of the others that were trying to kill You.
Today life is often hard for us to understand when the innocent are found guilty. You know how that feels. You understand and are always there to bring comfort.
Thank You for never leaving us Lord. We KNOW You are always with us.
Thank You Lord.
