I thought the main point made by Selwyn in today’s study (on the self-control and pose of Jesus) was excellent.
He wrote: “We all have to live our lives in the presence of a Pontius Pilate – a person (or people) who seeks to oppose us. … When we confront someone like Pilate, life crimsons into a cross. … If you are the type who always resorts to avoidance, taking the line of least resistance and never making a good confession, then you will never become a resurrected person. No cross, no resurrection. Remember that.”
Do you agree that too many Christians prefer, not to stand in the presence of their ‘Pilate’, and will employ any tactic to avoid such a ‘life-saving’ confrontation? ['Life saving', in the eternal sense!]
