John 19:10 (KJV) Yield To Christ

John 19:10 (KJV)
Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?

Behold the arrogance of man. Pilate claimed, and I imagine really believed, he had power over Jesus’ life or death. In reality, he was driven wholly by fear:

• He was afraid that Jesus might be the King of the Jews, the Son of God
• He was afraid of the dreams of his wife that Jesus was a just man
• He was afraid that Rome would hear he made the wrong decision 
• He was afraid the Jews would cause a riot over Jesus

In the end, he washed his hands of the whole affair and gave the mob what they wanted. 

He was powerless. 

Men live in a world of self-delusion. Only Christ can break through and reveal us for what we are. 

May we yield to Christ.
