Christians should always maintain a resurection mindset. Though there are a limitless number of biblical topics we can and should pursue, the fact that makes them all relevant is that he rose. Having just celebrated resurrection day, in worship we discussed lessons that can be gleaned from the activities of Christ's executioner, Pontius Pilate. These thoughts have been compiled and serve as today's Daily Devotion. I hope, trust and pray that we keep these and other biblical lessons uppermost in our hearts and Jesus' resurrection uppermost in our minds.
"When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it." Matt 27:24
1) If you want to be claimed, claim him.
"Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.” Matt 10:32-33
2) There is no substitute for Jesus. Jesus substituted for you.
“… and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. “ 1 Pet 2:24
3) If advice is sound and wise, take it.
“Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called 'Today,' so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” Heb 3:12-13
4) You are washed by blood that can’t be washed. Stay clean.
“Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” Rom 5:9
5) Always do the right thing.
“Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.” Jas 4:17
[Memory Verse(s) of the week: Phi 2:5-11]
