S - John 19:4 Pilate went outside again and said to the people, “I am going to bring him out to you now, but understand clearly that I find him not guilty.” 6 When they saw him, the leading priests and Temple guards began shouting, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
O - Pilate had come to the realization that Jesus was not guilty of any crime and announced this to the people outside. The priests wouldn't take this as the answer so they continued to demand that He be crucified. Eventually, Pilot did indeed cave in and crucify Jesus.
A - Pilot had all the power to stop this crucifixion from happening but He was afraid of the people. I too will have decisions where the "right" choice is unpopular but being unpopular doesn't make it the wrong choice. Pilot's inability to do what was right was all a part of God's plan to sacrifice His son for our good, however, I need to stand for what is truth always.
P - God, Give me the wisdom and strength to make the tough decisions even when these decisions may face opposition. Help me to always see the truth and what you want instead of focusing on what others may want from me. Bless my family and me today.
