PILATE SOLD OUT FOR PRESTIGE
Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, butrather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye .
By his own admission Pilate believed that Jesus was not guilty of anything but he washed his hands of the matter to please the crowd. That was the most famous hand washing in the history of the world.
He listened to the crowd. I see so many today that are doing things they really don't believe in so that can please the crowd. We see politicians catering to special interest groups even though they know what they stand for is wrong. They are selling out so they can get elected.
Pilate tried to wash his hands of the responsibility but that will never work. One day we will stand before an All Knowing Judge to give an account of our actions. Only the blood of Jesus can wash away the stains of our guilt.
Pilate tried to take the easy way out and now his name lives on in infamy as the judge who sold Jesus out.
