Pilate the People-Pleaser | John 18-19 | Gary Hamrick

1/08/2023
Pontius Pilate was the Prefect appointed by Rome to oversee central Israel, including the city of Jerusalem, during the time of Christ. In fact, he became the pivotal figure in sentencing Jesus to death by crucifixion. Ironically, Pilate had determined three times that Jesus was not guilty of being condemned to death. So then why did he end up sentencing Him to death after all? Answer? Because Pilate had a weakness for what other people thought; and that weakness moved Pilate off center from what he knew was right. Truth is, all of us can be captive to the fear of people and trapped by a desire to always please people. Pastor Gary draws on this story from John’s gospel to help us recognize any of that sin in our own lives so that we can instead live to please God and fear Him alone.
00:00 - Introduction
05:00 - Pontius Pilate Stele (Stone)
15:50 - Pilate had a weakness for what other people thought; and that weakness moved Pilate off center from what he knew was right.
23:11 - Pilate was controlled by the fear of man and the desire to please people.
23:18 It was more important to him what people thought than what was the right thing to do.
27:19 - The fear of man will cause you to NOT do things you SHOULD!
27:25 Being a people-pleaser will cause you TO DO things you SHOULDN'T!
33:39 - STOP making decisions based on whom you fear or whom you want to like you.
33:53 - START making decisions based on fearing God and pleasing Him.

    "[The Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you designed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, "This is not but obvious magic."" (Quran Surah Al-Maaida , Chapter 5: Verse 110)

    I needed to hear this teaching to encourage myself to have the courage of my conviction to stand for the truth. My very good friend, whom I've known for over forty years; her daughter is getting married to another woman. I'm sad, I love my friend and her family, but I can not condone this by declining the invitation. I'm trusting the Lord for the right words to let them know how I feel. Remember me in your prayers. Thank you for this message and prayers.

    "[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ." (Quran Surah. Aal-i-Imraan , Chapter 3: Verse 55)
